钛宝石激光抽运的被动锁模Tm:YAG陶瓷激光实验研究

本文采用连续钛宝石激光作抽运,掺杂浓度为6 at.%、长度为2.7 mm的Tm:YAG陶瓷作增益介质,通过引入半导体饱和吸收体获得了稳定的被动锁模运转.实验中获得的激光锁模功率为116.5 mW,中心波长为2007 nm,重复频率为109 MHz,通过自行搭建的腔外非共线强度自相关测量得到的脉冲宽度是55 ps.     

Spectral and laser properties of Yb and Ho co-doped（YLa）2O3 transparent ceramic

Highly transparent Yb,Ho doped(YLa)2O3 ceramic was fabricated by conventional ceramic processing with nanopowders.The absorption and emission spectra of the ceramic was investigated.The energy transfer mechanism between Yb3+ and Ho3+ was also discussed.The strong emission band around 2 μm indicated that the Yb-Ho:(Y 0.90 La 0.10)2O3 transparent ceramic is a promising gain medium for the generation of 2 μm laser emissions.The laser operation of Yb-Ho co-doped(YLa)2O3 ceramic at 2.1 μm is first reported.     

Efficient Tm：YAG Ceramic Laser at 2 μm

We demonstrate a high-efficiency continuous-wave Tm： YAG ceramic laser pumped with a Ti：sapphire laser. An output power up to 860mW is obtained under an absorbed pump power of 2.21 W at 785nm, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 42.1% and optical to optical efficiency of 22%. The measured central wavelength is 2012nm.
