A power scaling strategy for longitudinally diode-pumped Tm:YLF lasers
We describe a power scaling strategy for longitudinally diode-pumped Tm:YLF lasers based on optimisation of the thulium doping level and the gain geometry. Carefully designed laser experiments at lower powers are shown to allow a simple means for accurately predicting the thermal loading and hence t...
