High energy 1064 nm Q-switched laser output is obtained by LD vertical array end pumping Nd:YAG. For different divergence angles of fast axis and slow axis of LD array, aspheric lens and the glass rod is used for beam shaping of LD array. The results show that light intensity distribution of output laser is very sensitive to the structure of the beam shaping system, which can be controlled by adjusting the spatial position of pumping, such as the distance between the aspheric lens and the face of the glass rod, and the approximate Gaussian beam was obtained without damage. When the distance between the aspheric lens pair and the face of the glass rod is 16mm, a 1064 nm Q-switched laser with single pulse energy of 60.4 mJ under the pump energy of 489 mJ, corresponding to optical conversion efficiency of 12.4%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
