报道了一个激光二极管(LD)抽运多波长连续输出的激光器和一个被动调Q的固体激光器。该激光器的增益材料是一种新型掺Yb^3+的晶体Yb^3+:Lu2SiO5(Yb^1LSO)。当吸收的抽运功率为2.57W时,连续输出的最大功率为490mW,斜率效率为22.2%,光-光转换效率为14.2%,激光阈值为299mW,输出激光波长为1084nm。多波长输出时,波长调谐范围为1034~1085nm。利用InGaAs可饱和吸收镜实现调Q输出时,斜率效率为3.0%,激光波长为1058nm。脉冲重复频率为25~39kHz,重复频率随着抽运功率的增加而增加。
New Yb-doped crystal Yb^3+: Lu2SiO5 (Yb: LSO) lasers pumped by diode-laser at 976 nm with passively Q-switched and multi-wavelength continuous-wave (CW) output were demonstrated. The maximum CW output power was 490 mW with the absorbed pump power of 2.57 W. The slope efficiency and optical-optical conversion efficiency were 22.2% and 14.2% respectively. The threshold was 299 mW, and the laser wavelength was 1084 nm. The wavelength could be tunable from 1034 to 1085 nm with a prism. For the Q-switched output, the laser operated at 1058 nm with an InGaAs semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). The Q-switched output slope efficiency of 3.0% with the maximum absorbed pump power of 1.73 W was also obtained. The pulse repetition rate was 25~39 kHz and was increased with the pump power increased.
