Abstract
A Ho:SSO crystal was employed as an efficient saturable absorber Q switch for the pulsed Ho:YAG laser for the first time. The characteristics of the passive Q-switch Ho:YAG laser were studied with different incident pump power and different laser energy density around the Ho:SSO. The single pulsed energy varied from 8.3â¯Î¼J to 76.6â¯Î¼J with the increasing of the incident power from 2.2â¯W to 8.2â¯W. The maximum repetition rate was 42.1â¯kHz, and the minimum pulsed duration was 48â¯ns. The maximum single-pulse peak power was 1.53â¯kW. The output center wavelength shifted from 2090.1â¯nm (the continuous-wave mode) to 2091.3â¯nm (the passive Q-switch mode).
