Author:Botha, LR; Bollig, C; Esser, MJD; Campbell, RN; Jacobs, Cobus; Preussler, DRDate:Oct 2009A Ho:YLF laser pumped HBr molecular laser was developed that produced up to 2.5mJ of energy in the 4 micron wavelength region. The Ho:YLF laser was fiber pumped using a commercial Tm:fibre laser. The Ho:YLF laser was operated in a single ...Read more
Author:Esser, MJD; Strauss, Hencharl J; Koen, WS; Preussler, D; Nyangaza, K; Bollig, CDate:Jun 2009The authors have, through careful analysis of spectroscopic data, designed and demonstrated a diode-end-pumped, quasicontinuous wave Tm:GdVO4 laser operating at 1892 nm in order to pump a Q-switched Ho:YLF laser. The Ho:YLF maximum output ...Read more
