Представлены результаты использования метода разгрузки резонатора для получения в полупроводниковом лазере с дисковой структурой импульсов излучения высокой энергии, наносекундной длительности с частотой следования, варьируемой в диапазоне от 0,1 до 4 МГц и перестраиваемой длиной волны. В указанном лазере экспериментально получены импульсы излучения на длине волны, перестраиваемой в диапазоне 1045 – 1080 нм, и длительностью 24 нс с пиковой мощностью 41 Вт в режиме генерации одного выходного пучка и, соответственно, 30 нс и 57 Вт в комбинированном режиме.

We report on cavity-dumping of a semiconductor disk laser as a method to generate energetic wavelength-tunable nanosecond pulses with repetition rates ranging from 0.1 to 4MHz. Experimentally, emission of 24ns pulses with peak output power of 41W in a single beam output (and of 30ns with peak power of 57W in a combined beam output) with wavelength tuning from 1045–1080nm was obtained.
