Abstract

We report what we believe to be the first demonstration of laser diode pumped Q-switched 2.02-µm laser emission for the 3F4 3H6 Tm3+:YAG transition. Room temperature laser performance is investigated as a function of the Q-switch repetition rate, output coupling, and cavity length. The effect of the Tm3+ concentration on the energy storage in the upper laser level is studied.
