A CW and quasi-CW LiP:F2- color center laser pumped by YAG:Nd3+ laser (λ=1.06μm) is reported. The output power is 300 mW and 150 mW respectively. Laser emission wavelength ranges from 1.10 to 1.25μm.The laser can operate stably at room temperature.
Using color center LiF as Q switch of Nd3+: phosphate-glass laser, a stable high power laser has been obtained. This paper discusses some ways to increase the probability of smooth pulses, to stabilize the smooth pulses and to increase the modulation
