摘要
We report high-energy linearly polarized operation of an Er:YAG laser at 1617 nm, resonantly pumped by quasi-continuous-wave 1470-nm laser diodes. A U-shape resonator incorporating two 0.25 at.% Er:YAG rods and an acousto-optic Q-switch was employed. Polarized output with pulse energy of 20.5 mJ and pulse width of 52 ns at a 50 Hz repetition rate was obtained. At the maximum output energy, the output beam quality M2 was approximately 1.02 and 1.03 in horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this polarized pulse energy is the highest ever reported for a directly diode-pumped Q-switched Er:YAG laser operating at 1617 nm.
