Growth, characterization, and efficient laser operation of Czochralski- and micro-pulling-down-grown Yb3+:YScO3 mixed sesquioxides
We report on the growth, spectroscopy and laser operation of Yb3+-doped mixed sesquioxide crystals. Various Yb3+-doped crystals with compositions close to (Y0.5Sc0.5)2O3 have been successfully grown by the Czochralski method and by the micro-pulling down (µ-PD) method. Our spectroscopic investigations reveal broadened stimulated emission and absorption cross-section spectra originating from the structural disorder of the mixed crystals. We find the peak wavelengths to shift by ∼1.6 nm between Y:Sc-ratios of 54:46 and 46:54 and confirm a linear relation of the peak position with the lattice constant of the host composition. In the laser experiments, we obtain highly efficient continuous-wave laser operation under pumping with an optically-pumped semiconductor laser (OPSL) at ∼975 nm, reaching slope efficiencies of up to 89% at optical-to-optical efficiencies exceeding 80% at laser wavelengths between 1037 nm and 1086 nm.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optical Materials Express (OMEx), OSA''s open-access, rapid-review journal, primarily emphasizes advances in both conventional and novel optical materials, their properties, theory and modeling, synthesis and fabrication approaches for optics and photonics; how such materials contribute to novel optical behavior; and how they enable new or improved optical devices. The journal covers a full range of topics, including, but not limited to:
Artificially engineered optical structures
Biomaterials
Optical detector materials
Optical storage media
Materials for integrated optics
Nonlinear optical materials
Laser materials
Metamaterials
Nanomaterials
Organics and polymers
Soft materials
IR materials
Materials for fiber optics
Hybrid technologies
Materials for quantum photonics
Optical Materials Express considers original research articles, feature issue contributions, invited reviews, and comments on published articles. The Journal also publishes occasional short, timely opinion articles from experts and thought-leaders in the field on current or emerging topic areas that are generating significant interest.
