Optics Letters, 37(22), 4621-4623. | Series/Report no.: | Optics letters | Abstract: | We overcome several thermal issues present in Ho:YAG lasers by distributing the gain over a larger volume and achieve a diffraction-limited beam using coherent polarization locking. Increased single-pass absorption, suppression of output power saturation, and improvement in beam quality were shown using the coherent polarization locking technique as compared to a conventional Ho:YAG laser cavity with the same pump and cavity configuration. Ten watts of CW Ho:YAG laser power was generated with >96% coherent combining efficiency. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/99336 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/10940 |
