Abstract
A single transverse mode high pulse-energy VECSEL was developed. The GaSb based VECSEL emits at a wavelength of 2.04 microns with a peak power exceeding 500W while maintaining good beam quality. The cavity employs a Pockels cell combined with a low-loss thin film polarizer to selectively dump the intracavity energy into a 10ns pulse. The laser has promise for incoherent LiDAR, materials processing, gas sensing, and nonlinear optics.
