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 کاملSpectroscopic properties and upconversion mechanisms in Er3+-doped fluoroindate glasses.
Fluorindate glasses containing 1,2,3,4 ErF3 mol % were prepared in a dry box under argon atmosphere. Absorption, Stokes luminescence ~under visible and infrared excitation!, the dependence of S3/2, I11/2, and I13/2 lifetimes with Er concentration, and upconversion under Ti-saphire laser excitation at l5790 nm were measured, mostly at T577 and 300 K. The upconversion results in a strong green em...
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 کاملExcited-state absorption in Er:BaYzF8 and Cs3Er2Br9 and comparison with Er:LiYF4
The influence of Excited-State Absorption (ESA) on the green laser transition and the overlap of Ground-State Absorption (GSA) and ESA for 970nm upconversion pumping in erbium is investigated in Er3+: BaY2F8 and Cs3Er2Br9. Results are compared to Er3+: LiYF~. In Er3+: BaY2Fs, a good overlap between GSA and ESA is found at 969 nm in one polarization direction. The emission cross section at 550 n...
متن کاملInfluence of Doping and Excitation Powers on Optical Thermometry in Yb3+-Er3+ doped CaWO4
Optical thermometry has been widely studied to achieve an inaccessible temperature measurement in submicron scale and it has been reported that the temperature sensitivity depends mainly on host types. In this work, we propose a new method to improve the optical temperature sensitivity of Yb3+-Er3+ co-doped CaWO4 phosphors by doping with Li+, Sr2+, and Mg2+ ions and by controlling excitation po...
