Deskripsi

We demonstrate efficient passively Q-switched laser operation, based on <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="TeX">$\hbox{Tm}^{3+}\hbox{:LiGdF}_{4}$</tex-math></inline-formula> and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="TeX">$\hbox{Cr}^{2+} $</tex-math></inline-formula>:ZnSe, as active medium and saturable absorber, respectively. The polarized emission was centered at 1876 nm, with pulse parameters of 13 ns (duration), 467 <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="TeX">$\mu\hbox{J} $</tex-math></inline-formula> (energy), and 37 kW (peak power) at a repetition rate of 350 Hz.
