Abstract
We report a continuous-wave Ti:sapphire laser with an output power of 1.03 W, achieved with two low-cost single-emitter diode pumps, both of blue wavelength (448 and 468 nm). Using a novel strategy of combining blue-wavelength pumping with a long, low-doping Ti:sapphire crystal, we maximise the available pump power while minimising deleterious effects associated with blue pump wavelengths, demonstrating Watt-level output powers.
Instructions:
Datasets are composed of x-y data, and are annotated with corresponding figure numbers from the manuscript that they accompany (A low cost approach to diode-pumped Ti:sapphire lasers with Watt-level output). Notes in column headers provide additional detail and units.
