Temperature-dependent absorption and emission of potassium double tungstates with high ytterbium content.

Channel Waveguide Lasers and Amplifiers in Single-Crystalline Ytterbium-Doped Potassium Double Tungstates

Continuous-wave laser operation of disordered double tungstate and molybdate crystals doped with ytterbium

Several ytterbium doped disordered doubles tungstate and molybdate crystals, NaGd(WO4)2, NaLa(WO4)2, NaLa(MoO4)2 and LiGd(MoO4)2, were grown with sufficient Yb-doping and optical quality. The crystal field splitting of the Yb 3+ multiplets and the lifetimes are similar to the biaxial monoclinic double tungstates but the peak absorption cross sections are roughly one order of magnitude lower. Ro...

Yb-Sensitized Rare-Earth Doped Optical Glasses

The temperature e ect upon infrared-to-visible frequency upconversion uorescence emission in o -resonance infrared excited Yb-sensitized rare-earth doped optical glasses is theoretically and experimentally investigated. We have examined samples of Er3+/Yb-codoped Ga2S3:La2O3 chalcogenide glasses and germanosilicate optical bers, and Ga2O3:La2O3 chalcogenide and uoroindate glasses codoped with P...

TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON THE EMISSION PROPERTIES OF Yb-DOPED FIBERS (Postprint)

Ytterbium-doped fiber lasers are making impressive leaps in power production. Yet in spite of fibers large surface area to volume ratio which is beneficial for cooling, such power inevitably leads to high core temperatures that in turn affect the laser performance. In this letter, the temperature effects on the emission and fluorescence lifetime of ytterbium doped optical fibers are investigate...

Rootzone Temperature on N Absorption and Physiology of Cucumber

Increasing nitrogen absorption efficiency reduces use of excessive application of N. The effect of rootzone temperature on nitrogen absorption needs clarification. The experiment was conducted to investigate low (15°C, RTZ1), high (35°C, RTZ2) and optimum (25°C, RTZ3) root zone temperatures and nitrogen 52.5 (ND1), 78.75 (ND2) and 105 (ND0) mg∙L-1 levels on cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), cv.
