Abstract
In this Letter we report the near infrared operation of a femtosecond-laser-written diode-pumped Pr:LiLuF4 waveguide laser. By employing a circular depressed-cladding waveguide with propagation losses as low as 0.19 dB/cm, we demonstrated lasing at 914 nm, with a maximum output power of 140 mW and a slope efficiency of 24%. Moreover, we demonstrated the possibility of lasing in a waveguide device at 894 nm, 922 nm and 933 nm. To the authors knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a Pr-based waveguide laser operating in this spectral region.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
