Abstract

An injection-seeded Ho:YAG laser at 2090 nm with changeable pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is demonstrated. Containing a Ho:YAG nonplanar ring oscillator (NPRO) seed, a slave laser, and a single-pass amplifier, the laser delivered single-frequency pulses with energy ranging from 31.4 to 12.7 mJ. The corresponding pulse duration and PRF varied between 102-215 ns and 150-750 Hz, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest PRF ever obtained from a single-frequency Ho:YAG laser.
