Abstract

A high power continuous wave diode-pumped Tm:YAP laser at room temperature was presented in this paper. The Tm:YAP crystal with doped concentration of 3 at % for the experiment was c-cut with dimensions of 3 × 3 × 8 mm 3. A 795 nm continuous wave laser diode in dual-end-pumped geometry was used to generate 1.94 μm laser output. At the pump power of 38.9 W, the highest output power reached 12.3 W by use of 15% output coupling, corresponding to optical conversion efficiency was 31.6% and the slope efficiency was 38.2%.
