Abstract

Efficient multi-watt operation of a diode-pumped Yb:YLF laser at room temperature was demonstrated. In continuous-wave regime the laser produced up to 8.4 W of average power with ⪆74% of slope efficiency with respect to the absorbed pump power. The laser output had diffraction limited beam quality and its wavelength was tunable over 40 nm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest output power for diode-pumped room-temperature Yb:YLF lasers.
