Paper Abstract
An efficient high-peak-power Ho:YAG hybrid laser resonantly pumped by a 20 W linearly polarized Tm:fiber laser
at the wavelength of 1908 nm was developed. At room temperature a maximum continuous output power of 10.7 W
with a slope efficiency of over 55% with respect to the incident pump power was achieved. In Q-switching regime
an acousto-optic modulators were applied. The research was conducted for normal and Brewster's angle Q-switches
respectively. In CW pumping regime the repetition rate was changed from 500 Hz to 5000 Hz. For the best case, for
5 kHz repetition rate, pulses of 1.6 mJ energy and 123 kW peak-power were achieved at the wavelength of 2090.2 nm
with an M2 ≈ 1.6.
