Author:Koen, W; Bollig, C; Strauss, Hencharl J; Schellhorn, M; Jacobs, Cobus; Esser, MJDDate:Apr 2010The authors developed a compact Ho:YLF oscillator–amplifier system in a novel setup to utilise the unpolarised pump power from a fibre laser efficiently, and produced 21.3 mJ at 1 kHz, with an M 2 better than 1.1. The amplified energies agreed ...Read more
Author:Schellhorn, M; Ngcobo, S; Bollig, C; Esser, MD; Preussler, DR; Nyangaza, KDate:Jun 2009The aim is to develop a high-power Tm:YLF slab laser which can be utilized to pump a Ho slab laser. A 68 W Tm:YLF slab laser was recently presented in [1] pumped from one end by a single 6-bar stack delivering ~300 W of pump power. In this ...Read more
