Laser operation of a Tm:Y2O3 planar waveguide.
We demonstrate the first Tm-doped yttria planar waveguide laser to our knowledge, grown by pulsed laser deposition. A maximum output power of 35 mW at 1.95 μm with 9% slope efficiency was achieved from a 12 μm-thick film grown on a Y(3)Al(5)O(12) substrate.
متن کامل1.9-am operation of a Tm:lead germanate glass waveguide laser
The development of coherent light sources in the wavelength region around 2 ,um is of interest because of the presence of absorption bands of several important molecules. Lead germanate was shown to be a particularly suitable glass host for operation of the 2-Am Tm3, H4 to H6 transition in fiber samples"2 (see Fig. 1). The maximum phonon energy is greater than in fluoride glasses, leading to ef...
متن کاملContinuous-wave and Q-switched operation of a compact, diode-pumped Yb3+:KY(WO4)2 planar waveguide laser.
A diode-pumped LPE-grown Yb:KYW planar waveguide laser is demonstrated in a microchip monolithic cavity configuration. Output powers as high as 148 mW and thresholds as low as 40 mW were demonstrated during continuous-wave operation. Pulses of 170 ns duration with maximum pulse energy of 44 nJ at a 722 kHz repetition rate were generated when Q-switched using a semiconductor saturable absorber m...
متن کاملPerformance of planar-waveguide external cavity laser for precision measurements.
A 1542-nm planar-waveguide external cavity laser (PW-ECL) is shown to have a sufficiently low level of noise to be suitable for precision measurement applications. Its frequency noise and intensity noise was comparable or better than the non-planar ring oscillator (NPRO) and fiber laser between 0.1 mHz to 100 kHz. Controllability of the PW-ECL was demonstrated by stabilizing its frequency to ac...
متن کاملQ-switched operation of a femtosecond-laser-inscribed Yb:YAG channel waveguide laser using carbon nanotubes.
We demonstrate a diode-pumped femtosecond-laser-inscribed Yb:YAG channel waveguide laser, Q-switched by using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) near 1029 nm. We used saturable absorber mirrors (SAMs) fabricated by depositing SWCNTs on three different output couplers. Best performance of the 9.3-mm-long ultra-compact Q-switched waveguide laser is obtained with an output coupling transmissi...
