An average output power of 1.96 W is produced at pulse repetition rate of50 k Hz at emission wavelengths around 1035 nm, with a slope efficiency of 16%. The highest pulse energy of 269 μJ is generated at pulse repetition rate of 1 k Hz, with pulse width 12.1 ns and peak power 20.53 kW.展开更多

The Er^3＋/yb^3＋ codoped KGd（WO4）2 crystal with good optical quality was grown by the TSSG method and the growth conditions were presented. The unpolarized absorption and emission spectra of the crystal have been measured. The strong absorption peak is at 980 nm with a FWHM of 65 nm, and the emission peak is at 1536 nm when pumped by 976 rim. The fluorescence lifetime of manifold ^4I13/2 is estimated to be 4.5 ms at room temperature.Investigations of Er, Yb：KGW crystal have shown it to have necessary combination of properties to get an effective generation of - 1.54 μm eye-safe radiation with laser diode pumping.展开更多

Absorption spectra were measured and energy levels were assigned. According to Judd-Ofelt theory, the spectral strength parameters of Er^3＋ ion were fitted to beΩ2 =0.3926 x 10^-20 cm^2, Ω4 =0.0721×10^-20 cm^2, Ω6 =0.0028 ×10.20 cm^2. Emission peaks centered at around 523,544 and 670 nm were observed under 334 nm He-Cd laser excitation and emission peaks centered at 1001 and 1534 nm were detected under 976 nm laser excitation. Strong green emission was also observed when the crystal was pumped with 808 nm and 976 nm laser. The mechanisms of frequency upconversion and sensitization were analyzed.展开更多

The absorption spectrum and fluorescence spectrum of Nd^3 ＋ ： KGW crystal were measured. The absorption cross sections at 808 nm（0. 6799 × 10^-20 cm^2） were calculated, and the output wavelength of fluorescence is 1064 and 1351 nm. The diode-pumped laser was operated both in the free-running and passively Q-switched operating modes. The maximum laser output（1064 nm） is 326 mW with 62.7 % slope efficiency when input energy is 900 mW. The beam quality factor M^2 ≈ 1.1. The green light of 532 nm is obtained in frequency doubling operation. The laser is passively Q-switched by using Cr^4＋ ：LuAG as saturable absorber.
