WGM Microrod Laser Fabricated by pulsed CO2 Laser Micromilling
Introduction Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) microlasers have been of a great interest owing to their low threshold and narrow linewidth lasing due to their high Q and small mode volume. Most of the fabrication methods [1-3] are non-controllable and non-reproducible which rely on fiber-tip melting, such as microspheres [3, 4] or splicing of small active-fiber stubs [3]. Microresonators are realiz...
متن کاملSide-pumped WGM Milled Microstub Resonator Laser
Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) resonators are promising candidates for realization of ultra-small micro lasers. Conventional 3D resonators such as micro toroids [1], micro spheres [2, 3] and microbottles [4] are well studied as both passive and active devices. The excitation and signal collection are mostly done using evanescently coupled micro-sized fibers [5], integrated waveguides [3] and\or ...
متن کاملNarrow linewidth, 100 W cw Yb3+-doped silica fiber laser with a point-by-point Bragg grating inscribed directly into the active core.
We report on the power scaling to 103 W of a 1.1 microm continuous-wave Yb(3+)-doped silica fiber laser incorporating a point-by-point (PbP) fiber-Bragg grating inscribed directly into the active core using 800 nm femtosecond laser pulses. The spectrum of the laser exhibited a narrow linewidth that broadened to 260 pm at 103 W. The output was frequency doubled using an 11 mm long periodically p...
متن کامل20 W single-mode Yb3+ -doped phosphate fiber laser.
We report the demonstration of the first, to our knowledge, cladding-pumped continuous-wave Yb(3+)-doped phosphate-glass fiber laser. Phosphate hosts are of interest because they can be much more heavily doped than silica, and because of the possibility that they may have a higher photodarkening threshold. In an 84.6 cm double-clad fiber doped with 12 wt. % of Yb(2)O(3) and laser-diode pumped a...
متن کاملModeling of Yb3+-sensitized Er3+-doped silica waveguide amplifiers
A model for Yb3+ sensitized Er3+-doped silica waveguide amplifiers is described and numerically investigated in the small-signal regime. The amplified spontaneous emission in the ytterbium-band and the quenching process between excited erbium ions are included in the model. For pump wavelengths between 860 and 995 nm, the amplified spontaneous emission in the ytterbium-band is found to reduce b...
