Abstract

We demonstrate a narrow linewidth Tm:YLF laser with a volume Bragg grating (VBG) that was pumped by an equidirectional-polarization fiber-coupled laser diode using a dual-end-pumping configuration. For an optimized output coupler with a radius of curvature of 150 mm and transmission of 15% at a wavelength of 1.91 μm, the maximum output power was 15.6 W for an absorbed pump power of 51.7 W at 1,907.93 nm, and the output had a narrow linewidth of 0.22 nm. This corresponds to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 30.2% and the slope efficiency was 36.7%.
