Abstract
This letter presents a visible light direct oscillation Q-switched single-longitudinal-mode Pr:YLF laser output at 639.5 nm by using the Q-switching pre-lase technology combined with the Fabry–Perot etalon. The experimental results show that the single-longitudinal-mode oscillation can be generated in a low-energy injection state. The proposed laser overcomes the problem associated with the Q-switched Pr:YLF laser, which cannot produce high-efficiency single longitudinal mode owing to the high loss of inserted elements. With the proposed laser, a Q-switched single-longitudinal-mode pulsed laser output has been achieved with 3.94 μJ energy and 81.1 ns pulse duration at a repetition of 10 kHz. The spectral linewidth of single-longitudinal-mode pulse laser was approximately 33 MHz.
