Abstract
Tunable 2-5 μm sources are of interest for infrared counter-measures, and a number of medical applications. A novel diode-pumping scheme enables a new generation of highly-efficient wavelength-converted l-μm laser systems to serve these needs. The basic laser unit, shown schematically in Fig. 1, produces up to 9.5 W TEM00 Q-switched output in a low divergence (M2 ~ 1.2) output at 1 μm, was discussed at CLEO last year.1
