Tunable CW Er:YLF Diode-Pumped Laser

Abstract

We report a 4-W, 2810-nm, diode-pumped, cw Er:YLF laser, to the best of our knowledge the highest power yet achieved for a cw Er-doped laser operating on the(4)I(11/12) - (4)I(13/2) transition. We tuned the laser on 11-different lines in the 2720-2840-nm region.
