چکیده
We report the highly efficient continuous-wave diode-pumped laser operation of Er, Yb:GdAl3(BO3)4 crystal. Absorption and stimulated emission spectra, emission lifetimes, and efficiencies of energy transfer from Yb3+ to Er3+ ions were determined. A maximal output power of 780 mW was obtained at 1531 nm at absorbed pump power of 4 W with slope efficiency of 26%.

We report the spectroscopy and high-power continuous-wave (CW) diode-pumped laser operation of Er:Yb:YAl3(BO3) crystal. Absorption and stimulated emission spectra, emission lifetimes, and efficiency of energy transfer from Yb3+ to Er3+ ions were determined.

متن کاملEfficient and tunable continuous-wave diode-pumped Yb3+:Ca4GdO(BO3)3 laser.
A Yb(3+):Ca(4)GdO(BO(3))(3) (Yb:GdCOB) crystal has been diode pumped for the first time to our knowledge. We obtained 47.5% slope efficiency at 6 degrees C, producing 191 mW of power at 1050 nm, with a 2.4% output coupler. Temperature does not significantly affect the laser performance: At room temperature we still obtained 180 mW of power for the same cavity. We achieved tunability of the Yb:G...

We report a highly efficient cryo-cooled eye-safe laser operation of a resonantly-pumped (in-band) Er³⁺:GdVO₄ single crystal. The maximum continuous wave (CW) power of 10.3 W with 84% slope efficiency was achieved at 1598.7 with pumping at 1538.6 nm by a spectrally-narrowed Er-fiber laser. Under the 1529 nm resonant pumping by a commercially available diode bar stack operating in a quasi-CW (QC...
متن کاملEfficient generation of continuous-wave yellow light by single-pass sum-frequency mixing of a diode-pumped Nd:YVO(4) dual-wavelength laser with periodically poled lithium niobate.
We report efficient generation of cw yellow light by use of single-pass sum-frequency mixing from a diode-pumped Nd:YVO(4) dual-wavelength laser with periodically poled lithium niobate. A diode-pumped Nd:YVO(4) dual-wavelength laser is implemented with a three-mirror cavity, and the optimum oscillation condition is obtained from theoretical analysis. We extracted 78 mW of power at 593 nm from 1...
متن کاملEfficient GaAlAs diode-laser-pumped operation of Nd: YLF at 1.047 Mum with intracavity doubling to 523.6 nm.
The use of semiconductor diode lasers as pump sources for solid-state lasers was demonstrated as early as 1964.1 In the past few years the dramatic increase in output power of diode lasers 2 has made pumping of solid-state lasers practical. Recently it was shown that diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG lasers offer advantages over lamp-pumped lasers, including high efficiency3 and good frequency stabilit...
