Abstract

Diode laser pumping of solid-state lasers has been one the most signifieant developments in laser physies in recent years. Diode pumping offers high reliability, efficiency, and compacthess. These techniques have been applied to continuous-wave neodymium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride system. In this letter we report on the Q-switching of a diode laser pumped neodymium-doped yittrium lithium fluoride laser and have obtained pulses of 5Ons duration and peak power of 2KW at repetition rates 10KHz.
