Growth of high-quality single crystal of 50 at.% Yb:YAG and its spectral properties

Comparison of spectroscopic parameters of 15at% Yb: YAlO3 and 15at% Yb: Y3Al5O12

“…Furthermore, the fluorescence width of 1012 and 1038 nm for 15 at% Yb:YAP is far bigger than that of 1048 nm for 15 at% Yb:YAG. It is well-known that the broad emission band allows the generation of ultra-pulses and is favorable for tunable laser medium [8,15]. Thus, the results of the spectroscopic parameters indicate that 15 at% Yb:YAP crystal is a potential candidate used for compact, efficient thin chip lasers when the laser output wavelength is 1012 or 1038 nm.…”

Growth and spectroscopic properties of Yb3+-doped BaLaLiWO6 crystal

“…Based on the spectroscopic parameters mentioned above, the important parametersˇm in , Isat and I min of Yb 3+ :BaLaLiWO6 crystal can be evaluated.ˇm in parameter, which is defined as minimum inversion fraction of Yb 3+ that must be excited to balance the ions exactly with ground-state absorption at extraction wavelength ext , can be calculated by the following expression [33]: min = abs ( ext ) abs ( ext ) + emi ( ext ) (4) The pump saturation intensity Isat can be obtained from the following formula [33]:…”

“…With the development of high-power InGaAs diode laser the Yb 3+ -doped laser crystal materials have been attracted great interesting [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. In comparison with Nd 3+ active ion the Yb 3+ ion has some important advantages.…”

Determination of Thermal-Diffusivity Dependence on Temperature of YAG Single Crystals with Different Concentrations of Yb3+ and V3+ Doping Ions

“…The yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) is a high quality host crystal with excellent physical and chemical properties [1][2][3][4]. It can be easily doped with rare earth ions like Yb or V. Yb:YAG single crystals possess many advantages, such as high thermal conductivity [5], that are desirable for high-average-power laser systems.…”
