Study of the effects of Cr ions on Yb in Cr,Yb:YAG crystal

The absorption and fluorescence spectra of Cr,Yb:YAG crystal were measured. There are two absorption bands at 940 nm and 968 nm although the absorption coefficient is lower than that of the absorption peak of Yb:YAG superimposed in Cr:YAG absorption peak. The emission peak intensity is 4 times lower than that of Yb:YAG, which may be caused by the existence of the ground state absorption of Cr⁴⁺ which quenches the Yb³⁺ emission intensity. Although the emission peak of Cr,Yb:YAG is lower than that of Yb:YAG, there is an advantage of this crystal which combines the saturable absorber and gain medium into one and can be a self-Q switching laser crystal if Cr,Yb:YAG crystal is pumped with high energy power.     

Numerical Simulation of a Diode-Laser-Pumped Self-Q-Switched Cr,Yb:YAG Microchip Laser

The dynamic and laser characteristics of the self-Q-switched Cr,Yb:YAG laser were studied by solving the coupled rate equations; the effects of the pump rate, reflectivity of the output couplers and the concentrations of the saturable absorbers on the laser performance were investigated in detail and the numerical simulation of the Cr,Yb:YAG lasers was in good agreement with the experimental data. Better laser performance of the Cr,Yb:YAG self-Q-switched laser can be obtained by using high pump rate, higher concentration of the saturable absorber and suitable reflectivity of the output coupler according to our numerical calculations. A typical self-Q-switched laser pulse of 269.5 J pulse energy with 319 ps pulse width (FWHM) at a repetition rate of 3.1 kHz can be obtained with a monolithic laser cavity, which results in 843.5 kW peak power.

Cr,Nd:YAG self-Q-switched laser with high efficiency output

The high efficient laser performance of self-Q-switched laser in the co-doped Cr⁴⁺,Nd³⁺:YAG microchip with 1.8 mm thickness was demonstrated. The slope efficiency is varied with the reflectivity of output coupler at 1064 nm, and the highest slope efficiency of 26% was obtained for 95% reflectivity of output coupler at 1064 nm.

This can lead to develop the diode laser pumped monolithic self-Q-switched solid-state microchip lasers, especially for the intracavity frequency-doubled solid-state microchip lasers.
