Abstract

Abstract Based on the analysis of the quasi-three-level side pumped Tm:YAG laser system, the oscillating conditions of this laser are predicted from the point of pump threshold. The laser oscillation at 2.02 µm with larger stimulated emission sections is suppressed when the crystal length is larger than ~85 mm with a 5% output coupling and then an efficient side-diode-pumped rod Tm:YAG laser operating at 2.07 µm is realized. Experimental results are reported from single-module and two-modules Tm:YAG laser and compared with the predictions obtained from the model. The experimental results show that the center wavelength of the Tm:YAG laser is shifted to 2.07 μm when the Tm:YAG crystal length is switched from 69 mm to 138 mm, which is in well agreement with the predictions obtained from the model.
