Upconversion - Pumped Cerium Lasers
نویسنده
چکیده
Intrinsic Instability, multistability and hysteresis have been observed in the photoluminescence of bulk glass doped with Yb and Tm impurities at room temperature. Hysteretic switching of laser output also occurs near threshold in channel waveguides in this material. Local field effects are shown to present new, fundamental design limitations for compact optical amplifiers and oscillators. 42.65.Pc Typeset using REVTEX *Also at: Division of Applied Physics, University of Michigan 'Present address: Gemfire Corporation, 2471 E.

Upconversion 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 کاملRepetition-rate dependence of thermal loading in diode-end-pumped Q-switched lasers: influence of energy-transfer upconversion
The fractional thermal loading in diode-endpumped Q-switched lasers was estimated from the theory of cavity stability. The experimental results show that the thermal loading depends on the pulse-repetition rate. This dependence is attributed to the effect of energy-transfer upconversion (ETU). A theoretical model including the ETU effect was developed to analyze the fractional thermal loading i...
متن کاملPump-to-mode size ratio dependence of thermal loading in diode-end-pumped solid-state lasers
The fractional thermal loading in a diode-end-pumped solid-state laser is deduced from experimental measurement of the critical pump power. The results show that fractional thermal loading critically depends on the pump-to-mode size ratio. This dependence is attributed to the effect of the pump-to-mode size ratio on the population inversion and to the effect of energy-transfer upconversion. Rig...
متن کاملModeling of High-Power Continuous-Wave Tm:YAG Side-Pumped Double-Clad Waveguide Lasers
A plane-wave model accounting for cross-relaxation, upconversion, ground-state depletion, and gain saturation in continuous-wave laser systems is applied to side-pumped Tm:YAG double-clad planar waveguides. The temperature profile due to high-power pumping, and the delivery and absorption efficiencies of proximity-coupled diode bars, are also calculated. The theoretical performance is found to ...
متن کاملHigh-Density Er-Implanted GaN Optical Memory Devices.
Upconversion emission has been obtained from Er-focused ion-beam (FIB) implanted GaN. Visible green emission at the 522- and 546-nm range were excited with infrared (IR) laser sources at either 840 or 1000 nm, or with both lasers simultaneously. By implanting closely spaced patterns with the FIB, we demonstrated the concept of storing data in Er-implanted GaN. Information stored as data bits co...
