Rare-earth-ion-doped continuous-wave 3-μm lasers
This paper reviews the progress on rare-earth-ion doped lasers in the wavelength range near 3 μm, with an emphasis on fiber-based devices. Er and Ho lasers are discussed.
متن کاملHigh-Power Continuous-Wave Directly-Diode-Pumped Fiber Raman Lasers
We describe novel fiber Raman lasers pumped directly by spectrally combined high power multimode laser diodes at ∼975 nm and emitting at ∼1019 nm. With a commercial multimode graded-index fiber, we reached 20 W of laser output power with a record slope efficiency of 80%. With an in-house double-clad fiber, the beam quality improved to M = 1.9, albeit with lower output power and slope efficiency...
متن کاملHigh-power diode-pumped fiber laser operating at 3 μm.
A high-power diode-cladding-pumped Ho³⁺-doped fluoride glass fiber laser operating in cascade mode is demonstrated. The ⁵I₆→⁵I₇ and ⁵I₇→⁵I₈ laser transitions produced 0.77 W at a measured slope efficiency of 12.4% and 0.24 W at a measured slope efficiency of 5.2%, respectively. Using a long fiber length, which forced a large threshold for the ⁵I₇→⁵I₈ transition, a wavelength of 3.002 μm was mea...
متن کاملEfficient diode-pumped laser operation of Tm:Lu2O3 around 2 μm.
We report on the first diode-pumped laser operation of thulium-doped Lu2O3. With a very compact setup an output power of 75 W and slope efficiencies of around 40% with respect to the incident pump power were achieved at room temperature. Free running laser operation was observed at wavelengths of 2065 nm and 1965 nm. With a birefringent filter the wavelength could continuously be tuned from 192...
متن کاملEfficient diode-pumped Tm:KYW 1.9-μm microchip laser with 1 W cw output power.
We report on a diode-pumped Tm:KYW microchip laser generating 1 W continuous-wave output power. The laser operates at a wavelength of 1.94 μm in the fundamental TEM(00) mode with 71% slope efficiency relative to the absorbed pump radiation and 59% slope efficiency relative to the incident pump radiation. The optical-to-optical laser efficiency is 43%.
