Hi PL,
Can anybody estimate the IR power inside a Z-fold Laserscope resonator? I know it uses 4mm x 79mm Nd:YAG rod with 1.1% atomic doping and the lamp power is up to 4.5kW. But what do you estimate the IR power inside the resonator would be, 100W? That would be 2.2% efficiency. NB: this is disregarding Q-switching and KTP altogether, imagine those components are removed.
Best regards,
