Abstract

A single-layer resonant-waveguide grating consisting of a sub-wavelength grating coupler etched into a waveguide is proposed in order to achieve high polarization and high spectral selectivity inside an Yb:YAG thin-disk laser resonator. The designed structure was fabricated with the help of a Lloyd’s-mirror interference lithography setup followed by reactive ion beam etching down to the desired grating groove depth. The wavelength and polarization dependent reflectivity is measured and compared to the design results. The behaviour of the device at higher temperatures is also investigated in the present work. The device is introduced as the end mirror of an Yb:YAG thin-disk laser cavity. Output powers of up to 123 W with a spectral bandwidth of about 0.5 nm (FWHM) is demonstrated in a multimode configuration (M2~6). In fundamental-mode operation (TEM00 with M2~1.1) 70 W of power with a spectral bandwidth of about 20 pm have been obtained. Moreover, the degree of linear polarization was measured to be higher than 99% for both multimode and fundamental mode operation.
