Journal ArticleDOI
Ho:Tm lasers. II. Experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of Ho:Tm:YLF and Ho:tm:YAG laser diode pumping is compared under a wide variety of experimental situations, using a Cr:BeAl/sub 2/O/sub 4/ laser tuned to the absorption peak of the Tm/sup 3/H/sub4/ manifold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diode-pumped long-pulse-length Ho:Tm:YLiF(4) laser at 10 Hz.
TL;DR: An optical efficiency of 0.052 under normal mode operation for diode-pumped Ho:Tm:YLiF at a pulse repetition frequency of 10 Hz has been achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, Ho:YAG and Ho:LuAG laser rods were evaluated with both wide and narrow bandwidth pump diodes with an optical to optical slope efficiency of 0.24.
Journal ArticleDOI
ZnGeP 2 parametric amplifier
TL;DR: In this article, a ZnGeP2 parametric amplifier was constructed, and the small-signal gain of a 3.39-μm He-Ne laser in excess of 10 was measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parametric amplification in AgGaSe 2
TL;DR: AgGaSe(2) has been grown, annealed, and characterized for the mid-IR and parametric amplification at 3.39 microm has achieved a gain of 2.9 with a peak power input of only 8 MW/cm(2).
