Abstract

We report a high-power diode-side-pumped rod Tm:YAG laser operated at either 2.07 or 2.02 μm depending on the transmission of pumped output coupler. The laser yields 115W of continuous-wave output power at 2.07 μm with 5% output coupling, which is the highest output power for all solid-state 2.07 μm cw rod Tm:YAG laser reported so far. With an output coupler of 10% transmission, the center wavelength of the laser is switched to 2.02 μm with an output power of 77.1 W. This is the first observation of high-power wavelength switchable diode-side-pumped rod Tm:YAG laser around 2 μm.
