Yb:CaF2 thin-disk laser.
We present Ytterbium-doped CaF2 as a laser active material with good prospects for high-power operation in thin-disk laser configuration owing to its favorable thermal properties. Thanks to its broad emission bandwidth the material is also suitable for the generation of ultra-short pulses. The properties of the crystal as well as the challenges related to the coating, polishing, mounting and ha...
متن کاملSelf-referenceable frequency comb from an ultrafast thin disk laser.
We present the first measurement of the carrier envelope offset (CEO) frequency of an ultrafast thin disk laser (TDL). The TDL used for this proof-of-principle experiment was based on the gain material Yb:Lu(2)O(3) and delivered 7 W of average power in 142-fs pulses, which is more than two times shorter than previously realized with this material. Using only 65 mW of the output of the laser, we...
متن کاملNH2 detection in fuel-nitrogen combustion using an Alexandrite laser
A scheme for NH2 detection by means of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) with excitation in the ultraviolet-blue regime around 385 nm, in particular using the second harmonic of a solid-state Alexandrite laser, is presented. This alternative provides interference-free detection with improved signal compared with previously employed concepts based on Nd:YAG and dye-laser excitation in the visible...
متن کاملPerformance Simulation of Side-Pumped Slanted Faces of High Power Yb:YAGYAG Thin-Disk Laser
We present a novel slanted faces of thin-disk composite Yb:YAG YAG laser which is side-pumped by four non-symmetric hollow- ducts. The pump light distribution in the disk is modeled by using Monte-Carlo ray tracing method. The temperature distribution inside the crystal is calculated by taking into account either the concentration of Yb+3 ion or the different transmission of laser output coupl...
متن کاملSol-Gel Derived Active Material for Yb Thin-Disk Lasers
A ytterbium doped active material for thin-disk laser was developed based on aluminosilicate and phosphosilicate glass matrices containing up to 30 mol% YbO1.5. Thick films and bulk samples were prepared by sol-gel processing. The structural nature of the base material was assessed by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy and the film morphology was evidenced by scanning electron microscopy....
