A high pulse repetition frequency (PRF) single-frequency Er:YAG ceramic ring laser is demonstrated. A double-ceramics ring cavity both end-pumped by a 1532-nm fiber laser is also used to increase the pulse energy. The maximum single-frequency output energies are 21.0 mJ, 18.3 mJ, and 14.4 mJ at the PRF of 500 Hz, 750 Hz, and 1 kHz, respectively. Correspondingly, the pulse widths are 93.2 ns, 106.8 ns, and 130 ns. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest energy at high PRFs obtained from a single-frequency injection-seeded Er:YAG ceramic laser.
