Abstract

The lamp pumped Cr:Tm:Ho:YAG laser, with slope efficiency about 2%, and up to 17 W average power was demonstrated. The output energy, average power, as well as M² parameter were investigated in dependence on temperature and cavity configuration for wide range of pump power levels. The optimized cavity with concave facets rod and flat mirrors enabled to shift stability range to 2 kW of pump power.
