Possibilities and Limits of Avalanche Lasing on the Green Er3+:LiYF4 Transition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In computer simulations the population mechanisms of the room-temperature continuous-wave green upconversion E?+:LiYF4 laser are investigated. An avalanche process is the dominating excitation mechanism, but it also counteracts stimulated emission at higher dopant concentrations. This concentration dependence can be considered as a behaviour present in many rare-earth-doped avalanche lasers.

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 کاملA Strategy to enhance Eu3+ emission from LiYF4:Eu nanophosphors and green-to-orange multicolor tunable, transparent nanophosphor-polymer composites
LiYF4:Eu nanophosphors with a single tetragonal phase are synthesized, and various strategies to enhance the Eu(3+) emission from the nanophosphors are investigated. The optimized Eu(3+) concentration is 35 mol%, and the red emission peaks due to the (5)D0 →(7)FJ (J = 1 and 2) transitions of Eu(3+) ions are further enhanced by energy transfer from a sensitizer pair of Ce(3+) and Tb(3+). The tri...
متن کاملEvidence of thermal effects in a high-power Er3+-Yb3+ fiber laser.
We analyze the influence of heat generation caused by nonradiative transitions in a high-power 1.55 microm double-clad erbium-ytterbium fiber laser on the Stark level population. At strong pumping rates, 1 microm lasing can start as a result of parasitic reflections. We present a model that allows us to simulate the effect of self-generated heat on the Stark level population by using the MacCum...
