LD double-end pumped dual-rod acousto-optic Q-switched Tm:LuAG laser

Abstract A diode pumped dual-rod acousto-optic Q switched Tm:LuAG laser was reported. Based on the dual-rod Q-switched resonator design, single pulse energy of 5.24 mJ and peak power of 17. 6 kW at repetition rate of 100 Hz Tm:LuAG laser was realized at room temperature.
