铟钕掺杂钽酸锂单晶的生长及光学性能

采用提拉法生长了双掺杂钕离子(Nd3+)和铟离子(In3+)的同成分LiTaO3单晶。测量了该单晶的紫外-可见光吸收光谱,分析了该晶体的缺陷结构,得到了铟离子的掺杂浓度阈值。当铟离子掺杂浓度达到该阈值时,In∶Nd∶LiTaO3晶体的抗光损伤能力显著增强。铟离子取代晶体中的反位TaLi4+,使晶体光电导增大,减弱了光折变效应。In∶Nd∶LiTaO3晶体在光波长0.808μm处的吸收峰的半峰全宽为15nm,吸收截面为5.26×10-21 cm2。采用0.808μm半导体激光作为抽运源,钕离子在光波长1.06μm处出现强烈的荧光带。这些研究结果表明,In∶Nd∶LiTaO3作为多功能晶体可以应用于高功率的光子学或光电子学器件中。

Comparison of cw laser performance of Nd:KGW, Nd:YAG, Nd:BEL, and Nd:YVO4 under laser diode pumping

4 crystals under low-power laser diode end-pumping. Output power dependencies on the pump power and the pump wavelength of these diode-pumped solid state lasers were investigated. The high Nd³⁺ concentration of the Nd:KGW samples used in our measurements as well as up-conversion and exited-state absorption processes in Nd:KGW cause the reduced laser output power dependence on the pump wavelength which was experimentally observed. At pump levels up to 270 mW a slope efficiency of η_sl≈46% was reached for the Nd:KGW laser. Nd:KGW microchip laser operation with a slope efficiency of η_sl≈50% was demonstrated. Thermal lensing in Nd:KGW at pump powers up to 3 W was measured. Received: 4 August 1997     

Nd:KGW/KGW crystal: efficient medium for continuous-wave intracavity Raman generation

Diode pumped continuous-wave intracavity Raman conversion in a composite Nd:KGW/KGW crystal has been investigated. The use of a Nd:KGW/KGW crystal instead of the ordinary Nd:KGW crystal has made it possible to considerably decrease intracavity losses. A Raman threshold corresponding to a diode laser power of 230 mW and a quantum efficiency of conversion of diode laser radiation to the Stokes radiation of 22% have been obtained.

All-solid-state 704 mW continuous-wave yellow source based on an intracavity, frequency-doubled crystalline Raman laser

Continuous-wave operation at 588 nm of a diode-pumped Nd:GdVO4 laser with intracavity Raman shifting [in KGd(WO4)2, KGW] and frequency-doubling (in LiB3O5, LBO) is reported. A maximum cw power at 588 nm of 704 mW was obtained for diode pump powers of 13.7 W. Quasi-cw yellow powers up to 1.57 W at a 50% duty cycle (to reduce thermal load in the laser crystal) indicate that power scaling to over 1 W is feasible.
