Abstract

A 2μm Ho-doped ytrrium lithium fluoride (Ho:YLF) laser end-pumped by a 1.94μm Tm:fiber laser was developed. A laser system of a ring resonator oscillator and amplifier was operated at repetition rates of 200-5000Hz at room temperature. The Q-switched outputs were 7.4W at 5000Hz and 4.25W at 200Hz. Injection seeding was applied to the ring resonator, and single-mode laser emission was obtained. The Tm:fiber-laser-pumped Ho:YLF laser was first used for Doppler wind lidar measurements, and wind profiles were obtained up to ranges of about 15km in a range resolution of 96m and an integration time of 1s.
