“…Many other Yb 3+ -doped Silicate crystals, such as Yb:Gd 2 SiO 5 (Yb:GSO) [3], Yb:Lu 2 SiO 5 (Yb:LSO) [4], Yb:Y 2 SiO 5 (Yb:YSO) [4], and Yb:Sc 2 SiO 5 (Yb:SSO) , have shown attractive spectroscopic properties and laser performance. Zheng et al firstly studied the spectroscopic properties of the Yb 3+ -doped Lu 2 Si 2 O 7 (Yb:LPS) [6]. It was shown that Yb:LPS has three strong absorption bands around 905nm, 955nm, and 970nm with bandwidths of 21, 22, 29nm, respectively.…”

“…Its fluorescence spectrum extends from 950nm to 1100nm, structured with peaks around 978nm, 996nm, 1032nm and 1069nm, respectively. For a 5at.% doped Yb:LPS, it was measured that the fluorescence lifetime is ~1.88ms [6]. The broad absorption bandwidth and the long fluorescence lifetime of the crystal are beneficial for direct diode pumping and mode-locking operation of the laser.…”

A diode-pumped passively mode-locked Yb:Lu 2 Si 2 O 7 (Yb:LPS) laser is firstly demonstrated. Using a commercial SESAM as the mode-locker, stable mode locked pulses with femtosecond pulse duration at the wavelength of 1058nm are obtained. The shortest pulse achieved is about 96fs. We found that the Yb:LPS crystal could have small normal group velocity dispersion near the mode locking wavelength and a large nonlinear optical Kerr coefficient.

“…More than 2.6 W of average output with pulse durations of 260 fs at 1059 nm for Yb:LSO has been obtained [7]. Ytterbium-doped lutetium pyrosilicate Yb:Lu 2 Si 2 O 7 (Yb:LPS) crystal is a newly developed crystal for its effective low-symmetry monoclinic structure and its single crystallographic site which is benefit for the low threshold and high efficiency laser output [8,9].…”

“…Among the large variety of existing materials, Yb 3+ :Lu 2 SiO 5 (LSO) [3] has been identified as one of the most promising crystals. LSO benefits from relatively large emission cross-sections [4,5] in the vicinity of 1053-1056 nm, in relationship with intrinsic broadband capabilities. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity, K LSO = 5.3 Wm −1 K −1 , lies in the same range of values as that of Yb 3+ :YAG, K YAG = 6.5 Wm −1 K −1 , and it is less sensitive to the increase of doping levels.…”

Gain versus tuning issues to Q-switch with Yb3+:LSO and amplify broad-bandwidth pulses

The capability of a thin slab of Yb 3+ :LSO to be tuned within a Q-switched cavity is demonstrated in a range of laser wavelengths from 1052 to 1065 nm. Using a sidepump architecture, to create a linear gain-stripe in the crystal of which the dimensions can be finely controlled, we generate 50 to 150 ns-wide pulses in the range 1-5 mJ. These experimental data are fitted with the theoretical predictions by means of comprehensive modeling. Our model involves all the relevant parameters for the discussion of energetic, spectral and spatial issues of interest to evaluate the potential of this quasi-three-level material in the field of broadband regenerative amplification. Thanks to pure homogeneous broadening, this finally helps us to size a consistent pump design dedicated to the amplification of broad-bandwidth pulses up to a few milli-joules near 1053-1056 nm, the range of wavelengths involved in ICF.PACS 42.60.Fc · 42.60.Gd · 42.55.Xi · 42.55.Rz
