Abstract: | We demonstrate a 1047 nm Nd:LiYF4 (Nd:YLF) laser by directly pumping into the upper lasing level with a tunable Ti:Sapphire laser. The results obtained for direct upper laser level pumping at 863, 872 and 880 nm of Nd:YLF were compared with traditional 806 nm pump band excitation. Highly efficient 1047 nm continuous-wave (CW) laser emission under direct pumping at 880 nm in an 8 mm thick, 1.0 at.% Nd:YLF crystal is obtained. The slope efficiency is improved from 55.6% for traditional pumping at 806 nm to 76.3% for direct pumping at 880 nm. |
