Abstract
We reported a high-energy, high-pulse-repetition-frequency Ho:YAG master oscillator and power amplifier (MOPA), which was resonantly dual-end pumped by Tm:YLF lasers at room temperature. At a pulse repetition frequency of 1 kHz, the Ho:YAG MOPA laser system produced a maximum pulse energy of 110.4 mJ with a 28 ns pulse width, corresponding to a peak power of approximately 3.94 MW. The output wavelength of the Ho:YAG MOPA laser system was 2090.9 nm. In addition, a beam quality factor of about 1.7 was achieved at maximum output level.
