Abstract
We report a resonantly diode-pumped electro-optic Q-switched Er:YAG laser operating at 1,617 nm using a voltage-on-type rubidium titanyl phosphate (RTP) Pockels cell as the modulator. The Er:YAG laser operates at a very stable Q-switching mode with a per pulse energy yield of 1.5 mJ and a pulse duration of 114 ns at 1 kHz PRF under an incident pump power of 21.6 W.
