| Abstract: | By employing a tunable Ti:sapphire laser, we conducted an investigation into the effects of pump wavelength deviation on the laser performance of Yb:KLu(WO4)2 crystal. Pumping efficiencies exceeding 70% could be reached under lasing conditions with a 3-mm crystal of Yb concentration of 5.24 at.%, when the pumping wavelength was within the main absorption band centered at 981 nm extending from 974 to 990 nm. For different pumping wavelengths, the laser exhibited a single output–input relation with respect to absorbed pump power, giving an average slope efficiency amounting to 51%. |
