摘要
At 93 K, sapphire (Al2O3) has much better thermal properties than at room temperature. By taking advantage of the improved thermal properties, a Ti:Al2O3 laser is operated with 350 W of output power under thermal steady-state conditions. Model calculations of thermal lensing and higher order thermo-optic aberrations indicate that the output power capability is 200 times larger at 77 K than at 300 K, consistent with our results.
