Abstract
We report a single-frequency Q-switched Er:YAG all-solid-state laser with a pulse repetition rate of up to 10 kHz. The single-frequency feature is ensured by injecting the seed laser into a Q-switched ring cavity, and the pulse repetition rate is increased by combing the Pound-Drever-Hall method and optical feedback. Peak power of 4.12 kW with an average pulse energy of 1.35 mJ single-frequency 1645 nm laser pulses is achieved at a pulse repetition rate of 10 kHz, which matches an average power of 13.5 W.
