Abstract
A resonant grating mirror was monolithically integrated to an ytterbium-doped ceramic Y3Al5O12 microchip laser to produce a linearly polarized laser beam emitting at 1030 nm with a polarization contrast ratio up to 1000. The device was pumped with a fiber-coupled laser diode bar emitting 2-ms pulses at 50 Hz at 940 nm. Up to 13-W peak output power was obtained from 20-W absorbed pump power at room temperature. The obtained slope efficiency with respect to the absorbed pump power was about 80%.
