    Highly-efficient, dual-wavelength Nd:YLF laser emitting at 1314 nm and 1047 nm
    2023 - PRADO, FELIPE M.; FRANCO, TOMAS J.; WETTER, NIKLAUS U.
    We report a record optical-to-optical efficiency of 43% and a slope efficiency of 48% for a Nd: YLF laser emitting at 1314 nm. The crystal was side-pumped by a VBG-equipped diode emitting at 797 mn, with a peak power of 1545 W. We also report simultaneous dual-wavelength emission, at 1313 nm and 1047 nm.

    Sub-nanosecond microchip oscillator for a MOPA system tailored for tattoo removal
    2023 - CATARINA, MARCUS V.; BERECZKI, ALLAN; WETTER, NIKLAUS U.
    In this work we study a microchip laser designed to function as an oscillator in a Master-Oscillator Power-Amplifier (MOPA) system targeted for laser tattoo removal. Different configurations of the Nd: YAG resonator were used by changing the output coupler mirror reflectivities and the initial transmission of the Q-switch. The quasi-CW resonator provided 55.4 W of output with 51.31% and 78.2% optical and slope efficiencies, respectively. For Q-switched operation, the best configuration resulted in a peak output power of 3.6 MW with 588 ps pulse width.

    Compact, high power CW ring laser resonator
    2023 - BERECZKI, ALLAN; MENEZES, FELIPE C. de; WETTER, NIKLAUS U.
    We demonstrated the dynamically stable operation of aNd: YAG ring laser with 51.8 W of linearly polarized, continuous output power. The laser was based on laser modules side-pumped by diode bars. The resonator, aimed at single-frequency operation, is a design improvement from a previous work with the resonator length 4.3 times smaller than the previous design, thus resulting in a larger free spectral range, favoring for operation at single-frequency.

Furthermore, we achieved a near quantum-defect slope efficiency of 78.2%, the highest reported for Nd:YLF lasers. We also present efficient 1314 nm laser emission.

    Efficient trichromatic Nd:YLF Laser emitting at 1047 nm, 1053 nm and 1314 nm
    2023 - PRADO, FELIPE M.; FRANCO, TOMÁS J.; WETTER, NIKLAUS U.
    We report a Nd:YLF laser, side-pumped by a diode-stack at 797 nm with 1545 W peak power, resulting in triple-wavelength emission at 1314 nm, 1053 nm, and 1047 nm. The resonator is capable of emitting each wavelength separately as well as any combination of them simply by cavity alignment. When operating at 1314 nm, the laser reached record optical-to-optical efficiency of 49%, with a slope efficiency of 53%.

    1337 nm emission of a Nd3+-doped TZA glass random laser
    2023 - DIPOLD, JESSICA; BORDON, CAMILA D.S.; MAGALHAES, EVELLYN S.; KASSAB, LUCIANA R.P.; JIMENEZ-VILLAR, ERNESTO; WETTER, NIKLAUS U.
    Random lasers have been studied using many materials, but only a couple have used glass matrices. Here, we present a study of zinc tellurite and aluminum oxide doped with different percentages of neodymium oxide (4 wt.%, 8 wt.%, and 16 wt.%) and demonstrate for the first time random laser action at 1337 nm. Laser emission was verified and the laser pulse’s rise time and input–output power slope were obtained. A cavity composed of the sample’s pump surface and an effective mirror formed by a second, parallel layer at the gain-loss boundary was probably the main lasing mechanism of this random laser system. The reason for the absence of emission at 1064 nm is thought to be a measured temperature rise in the samples’ active volume.

    2023 - PRADO, FELIPE M.; FRANCO, TOMAS J.; VIEIRA, TARCIO de A.; WETTER, NIKLAUS U.
    Three laser resonators are demonstrated emitting at 1053 nm and pumped at 797 nm by volume Bragg gratingequipped diodes, achieving the highest reported efficiencies for Nd:YLF in a four-level system, to the best of our knowledge. A peak output power of 880 W is achieved by pumping the crystal with a diode stack of 1.4 kW of peak pump power.

    Dynamic stable ring resonator for high-power continuous single-frequency lasers
    2023 - BERECZKI, ALLAN; WETTER, NIKLAUS U.
    When considering dynamically stable resonators, ring lasers are good choices because they have a stability interval that is twice as large as that of linear resonators and sensitivity to misalignment decreasing with pump power; however, the literature does not provide easy design guidelines. A ring resonator utilizing Nd:YAG side pumped by diodes allowed single-frequency operation. The output single-frequency laser had good output characteristics; however, the overall length of the resonator did not allow for building a compact device with low misalignment sensitivity and larger spacing between longitudinal modes which could improve single-frequency performance. Based on previously developed equations, which allow for ease of design of a ring dynamically stable resonator, we discuss how to build an equivalent ring resonator, aiming to building a shorter resonator with the same stability zone parameters. The study of the symmetric resonator containing a pair of lenses allowed us to find the conditions to build the shortest possible resonator.
