The intluence of excited-state absorption on this laser channel was determined. Furthermore, upconversion pump mechanisms using ground-state and excited-state absorption around 810 and 970 nm were investigated by direct measurements of excited-state absorption. The spectroscopic results confirm the pulsed room-temperature laser experiments on the 4S3,2--+4Z r5,z transition. The lasers based on Er:LiYF,, Er:Y&Orl, and Er:Lu3A150r2 were directly excited into the upper laser level by an excimer laser pumped dye laser in the blue spectral range. In Er:LiYF4, Er:KYF4, and Er:Y3A150r2, laser action was achieved with two-step upconversion pumping by a Ti:sapphire laser and a krypton ion laser. In the case of the fluorides, the additional pumping with the krypton ion laser was not necessary. The laser emission wavelengths were 551 nm for Er:LiYF4, 561 nm for Er:Y3A150r2 and Er:Lu,AlsO1,, and 562 nm for Er:KYF4. In addition, green quasi-cw laser emission of Er:LiYF, pumped with an argon-ion laser was realized at room temperature.
We report room-temperature upconversion pumped continuous wave laser emission of 1% Er3+:LiYF4 at 551 nm excited by a Ti:sapphire laser at 810 nm. Output powers of up to 40 mW with output coupling of 6.6% have been obtained by using nearly concentric resonator design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
