Abstract
We report on diode-pumped continuous wave and passively Q switched Er:GdScO3 crystal lasers at around 2.8 µm. A continuous wave output power of 579 mW was obtained with a slope efficiency of 16.6%. Using Fe:ZnSe as a saturable absorber, a passively Q switched laser operation was realized. A maximum output power of 32 mW was generated with the shortest pulse duration of 286 ns at a repetition rate of 157.3 kHz, leading to a pulse energy of 204 nJ and a pulse peak power of 0.7 W.
