چکیده
In this paper, a fibre laser at 546 nm has been studied for a signal power of -30 dB. Er-doped ZBLAN fibre has been used by upconversion pumping of a 980 nm laser diode. Gain saturation effect has been investigated in detail. Laser performance has also been discussed. An efficiency of 35% has been calculated with a length of 5 mm fibre laser. Results show that Er-doped ZBLAN is a promising candidate for optical amplification at 546 nm. Keywords—Compact visible lasers, Erbium doped, Gain saturation, Green laser, Optical fibre lasers

متن کاملUpconversion Laser Processes
Pump processes that produce upconversion laser emission in trivalent rare earth ion-doped gain media are described, and the performance of upconversion lasers pumped by these processes is reviewed. Sequential two-photon absorption upconversion, cooperative energy transfer upconversion and photon avalanche upconversion are discussed in relation to the production of visible laser emission. Using ...
متن کاملA MATERIAL AND DEVICE STUDY FOR OBTAINING A BLUE UPCONVERSION FIBER LASER by E.W.J.L. OOMEN and E.J. LOUS
Upconversion of 650 nm red light in Tml+ doped fluoride glasses results in the emission of blue light at 450 and 480 nm from the transitions (' D2 ->3 H4) and (' G4 ->3H6) respectively. The utilization of this effect in a blue upconversion fiber laser (UFL) device suited to high density optical recording (HOOR) has been the motivation for discussing various material properties and device parame...
متن کاملEnergy Recycling Versus Lifetime Quenching in Erbium-Doped 3- m Fiber Lasers
Based on recently published spectroscopic measurements of the relevant energy-transfer parameters, we performed a detailed analysis of the population mechanisms and the characteristics of the output from Er-singly-doped and Er, Pr-codoped ZBLAN fiber lasers operating at 3 m, for various Er concentrations and pump powers. Whereas both approaches resulted in similar laser performance at Er concen...
متن کاملLaser-diode-excited intense luminescence and green-upconversion in erbium-doped bismuth-germanate-lead glasses.
We investigate the spectroscopic properties of the 1.5-microm emission from the (4)I(13/2)-->(4)I(15/2) transition of Er(3+) ions in bismuth-germanate-lead glasses for applications in broadband fiber amplifiers. The emission peak locates at 1532nm with a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of approximately 65nm. The measured lifetime and the calculated emission cross-section of this transition ar...
