Visible cooperative upconversion laser in Er:LiYF(4).
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report trio upconversion laser action in Er:LiYF(4) with excitation at 1.55 microm resulting in cw emission at 0.55 microm to a temperature of 95 K and contrast its performance with earlier green erbium upconversion lasers.

We describe continuous-wave mode locking and Q switching of an Er:LiYF(4) trio upconversion laser operating in the green spectral region.
متن کاملUpconversion Laser Processes
Pump processes that produce upconversion laser emission in trivalent rare earth ion-doped gain media are described, and the performance of upconversion lasers pumped by these processes is reviewed. Sequential two-photon absorption upconversion, cooperative energy transfer upconversion and photon avalanche upconversion are discussed in relation to the production of visible laser emission. Using ...
متن کاملEnhanced cooperative absorption and upconversion in Ybdoped YAG nanophosphors
Enhanced cooperative absorption and upconversion emission of Yb pairs in nanocrystalline YAG is observed. The nanocrystallites synthesized by a modified sol–gel method have an average size of 96 nm. The estimated concentration normalized ratio of maximum visible absorption to maximum IR absorption emission of 7.55 · 10 22 cm is about four orders of magnitude higher than the highest reported val...
متن کاملContinuous-wave, fourfold upconversion laser
Recent demonstrations 1-5 of room-temperature upconversion lasers have stirred interest in their potential as practical sources of short wavelength radiation for display and data storage applications, as well as for communications and ultrashort pulse generation at visible and ultraviolet wavelengths.6 To date however, little consideration has been given to the relative merits of various fundam...
متن کاملContinuous . . wave trio upconversion laser
The first laser to operate with an output wavelength shorter than that of the excitation was a pulsed erbium laser reported by Johnson and Guggenheim.l Since this early work, a variety of continuous-wave lasers have been reported in which upconversion occurs by different mechanisms, and inversions of upconverted energy levels have been sustained by avalanche processes, 2.3 direct pairpumping,4 ...
