摘要
We present a diode-pumped Yb:KYW microchip laser. The passive Q-switched and CW regimes of operation for the Yb:KYW microchip laser have been investigated. An efficiency for CW operation of up to 10% with regard to incident pump has been obtained. Raman self-frequency conversion in the Q-switched regime has been observed.
