Multiwatt diode-pumped thin-disc Yb:YAG laser tunable between 1016 and 1062 nm

摘要

The tunability of a diode pumped Yb:YAG laser is presented. With the thin disc laser concept good efficiencies with scalable output power are obtained. Up to 147 W output power, optical efficiencies of 64 percent and diffraction limited beam quality have been achieved.
