Abstract

Passively Q-switched operation of a Yb:Tm:KYW laser diode-pumped at 980 and 806 nm has been investigated. A thin plate of Cr:ZnSe was used as a saturable absorber for passive Q-switching. Maximum average output power of 32 mW at 1.9um in comparison to 208 mW for continuous wave regime of operation at the same pumping level has been obtained.
