Abstract
A Cr,Tm:YAG laser, under simultaneous flashlamp and diode laser excitation, was demonstrated. With respect to diode pumping a cw-output power of 35Â W with a slope efficiency of 20% was achieved. With flashlamp excitation pulse energies up to 465Â mJ were realised. This operation was supported by simultaneous diode pumping to bring the laser close to threshold. Repetition rates up to 10Â Hz were demonstrated with this simultaneous pumping mode of the Cr,Tm:YAG laser crystal.
