Yb-doped glass microcavity laser operation in water.

چکیده
A ytterbium-doped silica microcavity laser demonstrates stable laser emission while completely submerged in water. To our knowledge, it is the first solid-state laser whose cavity mode interacts with water. The device generates more than 2 microW of output power. The laser performance is presented, and low-concentration biosensing is discussed as a potential application.

Ultralow-threshold Yb(3+):SiO(2) glass laser fabricated by the solgel process.
A Yb-doped silica microcavity laser on a silicon chip is fabricated from a solgel thin film. The high-Q micro-toroid cavity, which has a finesse of 10,000, is evanescently coupled to an optical fiber taper. We report a threshold of 1.8 microW absorbed power that is, to the best of our knowledge, the lowest published threshold to date for any Yb-doped laser. The effect of Yb(3+) concentration on...
متن کاملHighly efficient mid-infrared 2 μm emission in Ho/Yb-codoped germanate glass
This work reports the mid-infrared emission properties around 2 μm in Ho/Yb codoped germanate glasses. The glass not only possesses good chemical durability and good thermal stability but also has high midinfrared transmittance around 2 μm (90%). In addition, the glass possesses considerably low OH content (20.45 ppm) and large spontaneous transition probability (103.38 s) corresponding to the ...
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 کاملNIR EMISSION SPECTRA OF (Er: Yb) DOPED SiO2-TiO2-Al2O3 SOL-GEL GLASSES
The present paper reports the near infrared (NIR) emission spectra of Er: Yb co-doped SiO2-Al2O3-TiO2 sol-gel glasses. Upon optical pumping either with 980nm(Diode Laser) or 488nm (Ar ion laser), the NIR emission transition (I13/2→I15/2) at 1550nm of (Er:Yb) glasses have revealed an improved intensity by many times compared with the Er singly doped sol-gel glass. The dependence of the emission ...
متن کاملYtterbium-Phosphate Glass for Microstructured Fiber Laser
In the paper, we report on the development of a synthesis and melting method of phosphate glasses designed for active microstructured fiber manufacturing. Non-doped glass synthesized in a P₂O₅-Al₂O₃-BaO-ZnO-MgO-Na₂O oxide system served as the matrix material; meanwhile, the glass was doped with 6 mol% (18 wt%) of Yb₂O₃, as fiber core. The glasses were well-fitted in relation to optical (refract...
