Abstract

Er:YAG crystals are good candidates for eye-safe solid-state lasers with output pulses energy in the mJ range, which are required for applications in atmospheric propagation such as active imaging, lidar and wind mapping. Er:YAG crystals can emit at 1645 nm or 1617 nm. The laser emission of Er:YAG naturally occurs at 1645 nm and is unpolarized. In addition, the required high incident pump powers in quasi-three-levels laser such as Er:YAG could lead to a poor beam quality factor (M2) because of well-known thermal effects in rod lasers.
