Abstract

We present an injection-seeding Q-switched 1645 nm Er:YAG ceramic laser with high frequency stability and energy stability by combining the injection-seeding technique and Pound-Drever-Hall technique. 10.31 mJ single-frequency pulses with optimal frequency stability (525 kHz) and relative energy stability (0.52%) at a high pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz are obtained.To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest frequency stability and energy stability so far in a high pulse repetition frequency, large pulse energy, single-frequency Q-switched Er-doped solid laser. This single frequency laser with high stability provides an excellent light source for a coherent lidar system.
