RESUMEN
We report on a quasi-continuous Er:YAG planar waveguide laser operated at 2.94 µm based on the major oscillator power amplification configuration. With the total pump peak power of 32.01 kW, a maximum output peak power of 1.14 kW was obtained at the seed injection peak power of 184.4 W operated at 400µs, 40â Hz. Furthermore, the numerical simulation results indicate that better performance of the laser could be obtained with the higher injected seed laser power. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first experimental demonstration of 2.94 µm planar waveguide laser with an Er doped host material.
RESUMEN
The widespread applications of sulfur dioxide and its derivatives is a double-edged sword in terms of ensuring environmental and food safety. In this work, a recyclable flexible upconversion-luminescence sensor was developed for the determination of sulfite in environmental and foodstuff samples. The upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were uniformly doped with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) prepolymer and moulded to prepare a flexible upconversion-luminescence substrate, which was further modified with pararosaniline (PRA) dye based on the typical carbodiimide coupling procedure. The principle of the work was based on the inner filter effect (IFE) mechanism between PRA dye and UCNPs. In the presence of target sulfite ions, it selectively binds to PRA moieties fixed on the surface of the flexible sensor, resulting in its bleaching and restoration of the upconversion fluorescence. Under the optimized conditions, a linear response for sulfite concentration in the range of 10-100 nM was obtained. The limit of detection was calculated as 2.24 nM, and the proposed sensor was successfully regenerated and recycled six times. The method was applied in real rainwater samples with spiked recoveries in the range of 94.85%-99.39%, and the coefficient of variation ranged from 1.65% to 4.93%. Hence, the proposed flexible upconversion-luminescence sensor held the attractive potential for efficient sulfite determination in real environmental and food samples.

In this paper, a single-frequency quasi-continuous-wave partially pumped slab (Innoslab) amplifier at 1064â nm is reported. The 4.4-W single-frequency seed laser was amplified to 148.1 W with optical-optical efficiency of 30.4%. The output pulse duration was 141.4 µs at the repetition of 500â Hz. The beam quality factors of M2 were 1.41 and 1.37 in the horizontal and vertical direction respectively. The experimental results match well with the numerical simulation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on single-frequency Nd:YAG Innoslab amplifier with such a high output power and efficiency.
RESUMEN
In this paper, a two-stage partially pumped slab (Innoslab) microsecond amplifier at 1064 nm is reported. The 4.4-W single-frequency seed laser is amplified to 303.6 W, with an overall optical-optical efficiency of 25.7%. The overlapping efficiency of the first- and second- amplifier stage is 67% and 55.6%, respectively. The pulse width is 145.0 µs, at a repetition rate of 500 Hz, and the beam quality factor of M2 is 1.84 and 1.71 in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. With higher overlap between the pump volume and the seed laser mode, the output power and optical-optical efficiency can be further improved.
RESUMEN
We designed a high-slope-efficiency and high-power laser diode (LD) side-pump Er:YSGG laser based on the analysis for the effect of the crystal dimension and the LD distribution on the temperature and energy distributions in laser crystal. A maximum output power of 34.9 W for a 2.8 µm mid-infrared laser was achieved at 200A, 120 Hz, and 500 µs pulse width, corresponding to the slope efficiency of 13.7% and optical-optical efficiency of 12.7%. Moreover, the beam quality $M_x^2/M_y^2$Mx2/My2 factors of the laser were measured to be 5.15/5.19 and the far-field divergences ${\Theta _x}/{\Theta _y}$Θx/Θy were 9.52/9.75 mrad.

A 208 W all-solid-state modulated-longitudinal-mode quasi-continuous-wave sodium guide star (SGS) laser was developed by sum-frequency of a 1064 nm laser and a 1319 nm laser. The laser contained two spectral lines separated by 1.72 GHz for re-pumping the sodium atoms. To suppress absorption saturation effect of the sodium atoms induced by the high light intensity, we used a white noise generator to modulate the 1064 nm single frequency seed laser in the frequency domain. The line width of the modulated-longitudinal-mode 589 nm laser was maximally broadened to 0.74 GHz compared to the initial line width of ~0.30 GHz. A bright SGS with photon return flux of 56800 photons/s/cm2 during the pulse length was obtained.
RESUMEN
We first report a 1319 nm long-pulsed duration laser with relaxation oscillation suppressed by placing lithium triborate crystals into the laser cavity. Two more etalons were added into the laser cavity to further increase the difference in cavity loss between oscillating and non-oscillating modes. With very little reduction in average output laser power, the smooth temporal profile laser pulse was obtained with a pulse duration of 150 µs. The average output power was 5.45 W, and the beam qualities Mx2 and My2 were 1.12 and 1.20.
