“…4a, in which two wavelengths laser emission could be found with centers at 933.0 and 936.8 nm, respectively. This was different from that obtained with Nd:GGG, Nd:GAGG, Nd:CNGG, and Nd:CLNGG crystals, where only one emission was observed for CW operation [19][20][21][22]. It was further found that the two wavelength lasers had almost the same thresholds and were all unpolarized.…”

We demonstrated a diode end-pumped continuouswave (CW) and passively Q-switched (PQS) dual-wavelength laser at about 0.93 μm with Nd:(Lu x Gd 1−x ) 3 Ga 5 O 12 (Nd:LGGG) crystal for the first time. The maximum CW output power of 244 mW was obtained with the optical-optical conversion efficiency of 6.2% and the slope efficiency of 8.1%, respectively. The PQS performance was obtained with V 3+ :YAG crystal as the saturable absorber. The shortest pulse width was achieved to be 259 ns with the pulse repetition rate of 130 kHz. The laser spectrum was found to be dual-wavelength with respective wavelength of 933.0 and 936.8 nm for both CW and passive Q-switching regime.

“…The disordered nature of the disordered crystal causes an inhomogeneous broadening of their emission spectra, which is beneficial to generating ultrashort pulses. Recently, continuous-wave (CW), passively Q-switched, and mode-locked operation of the disordered crystals, such as Nd:CNGG [10][11][12][13][14], Nd:CLNGG [15][16][17][18], Nd:GAGG [19][20][21] Thirdly, the effective segregation of Nd 3+ in GYSGG is 0.5978, which is larger than that of Nd:YAG (0.1-0.2), and Nd:GYSGG with high Nd 3+ concentration and highoptic uniform can be grown. According to our experience to grown Nd:GYSGG, its crystal diameter can be more than 120 mm, which can be used in high-average laser.…”

With Y 3+ ions introduced in the disordered crystal Nd:GSGG, another disordered crystal Nd:GYSGG was generated.…”

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.

“…However, the concentration of cationic vacancies can be reduced greatly by introducing Li + ions into the lattice of CNGG, forming a new crystal of calcium lithium niobium gallium garnet (CLNGG) [19]. Laser operation in CW, Q-switched, and mode-locked mode has been demonstrated recently with Nd doped CLNGG crystal [20][21][22][23][24]; a passively modelocked laser employing Nd:CLNGG and Nd:CNGG simultaneously as the active medium has also been developed, generating laser pulses at a repetition rate of 88 MHz, with a pulse duration of 534 fs [25]. Up to now, however, the disordered CLNGG crystal has not attracted much attention as host medium for the Yb ion, despite the fact that a wide variety of Yb laser materials have been explored during the past few years, only a very preliminary study was carried out on the spectroscopic properties of Yb:CLNGG crystal [26].…”
