摘要: We report the continuous wave and acousto-optically Q-switched operation of an in-band dual-end-pumped Ho:YAP laser at room temperature. A output power 11.0W 2118 nm was obtained absorbed pump 19.8 W, corresponding to a slope efficiency 62.1%. For mode, maximum pulse energy about 1.07 mJ minimum width 29 ns repetition rate 10 kHz were achieved, resulting in peak 36.9 kW.
