Abstract

Free-running and Q-switch performance of a flashlamp-pumped Cr:LiSAF laser system have been investigated for repetition rate of 1 - 25 Hz. Laser average powers of 25 W and output pulse energy more 0.1 mJ with 80 ns pulse duration, total laser and slope efficiencies of 5.1% and 3.5%, respectively, have been achieved.
