“…Laser output up to 1.9 W of Yb:CNGG crystal was obtained under pump of LD [21]. And laser output up to 0.02 W of Tm:CNGG crystal was also achieved when the crystal was pumped by a Nd:YAG laser at 1.06 µm [22]. The performance of Nd:CNGG and Nd:CLNGG lasers has been reported covering cw and pulse regimes.…”

With a laser-diode (LD) as the pump source, continuous-wave (cw) laser performance at 1.33 µm of Nd:CNGG and Nd:CLNGG crystals was demonstrated for the first time. The maximum power of 158 mW and 141 mW from Nd:CNGG and Nd:CLNGG lasers were obtained with the corresponding optical conversion efficiencies of 1.3% and 1.5%, and slope efficiencies of 2.0% and 2.9%, respectively. The difference between the laser performance of Nd:CNGG and Nd:CLNGG crystals was also discussed.Intensity, a.u.

“…In these days, the disordered crystals have been of current interests, because they posses both advantages of Nd-doped glass and ordered crystals in spectral and thermal properties [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The disordered nature of the disordered crystal causes an inhomogeneous broadening of their emission spectra, which is beneficial to generating ultrashort pulses.…”

Abstract:The performance of passively mode-locked Nd:GYSGG lasers was investigated for the first time. The 1061.5 nm continuous wave (CW) mode-locking operation of the Nd:GYSGG crystal was achieved and pulse as short as 3.1 ps have been generated with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). At the pump power of 7.39 W, the maximum average output power of 1.27 W was obtained with the slope efficiency of 18.9%. The pulse repetition rate of 42 MHz was obtained.Intensity, ×10 4 a.u.

“…Voronko et al first introduced Li + -ions into CNGG, and the vacancy concentration was significantly reduced, resulting a new crystal denoted as calcium lithium niobium gallium garnet (CLNGG) [11]. Its spectroscopic and lasing properties have been studied, and it was shown that Nd:CLNGG is different from Nd:CNGG [11,12]. Unfortunately, the thermal properties of Nd:CLNGG have not been systematically reported yet.…”
