Er:YGG Planar Waveguide Amplifiers for LIDAR Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Er:YGG is a promising candidate for greenhouse-gas LIDAR due to fortuitous transitions around key absorption lines of carbon-dioxide and methane. We present growth of crystal films by pulsed-laser-deposition, their spectroscopy and initial characterization as amplifiers. OCIS codes: (310.0310) Thin films; (220.4610) Optical fabrication; (230.7390) Waveguides, planar; (130.0130) Laser materials; (140.5680) Rare earth and transition metal solid-state lasers.

An increasing number of systems and applications depend on photonics for transmission and signal processing. This includes data centers, communications systems, environmental sensing, radar, lidar, and microwave signal generation. Such systems increasingly rely on monolithic integration of traditionally bulk optical components onto the chip scale to significantly reduce power and cost while sim...

We developed a 1.5 μm eye-safe wavelength high-gain and high-average power laser amplifier using an Er,Yb:glass planar waveguide for coherent Doppler LIDAR. Applying the planar waveguide structure, high-average output power with near single transverse mode was realized. Consequently, high-gain and high-efficient operation were achieved by multi-bounce optical path configuration. Amplifying the ...

Introduction: Er3+:Yb3+ codoping has become an effective method for producing short, efficient lasers and amplifiers in the long haul telecommunications wavelength range. Ytterbium codoping increases the pump absorption near 980nm and efficient energy transfer between the Yb’’ and the Er3+ ions enables the operation of centimetre long lasers with low Er” concentrations. This mechanism was first...
