Nanosecond Nd³⁺:LuVO₄self-Raman laser

Abstract

The spectra of the self-Raman LuVO4:Nd 3+ laser (the generation at fundamental wavelength at λ SE = 1.0658 μm was attenuated by a filter F)

Q-switched nanosecond Nd3+:Ca(NbO3)2crystalline self-Raman laser with single-step cascade SE (λSE= 1.0615μm of4F3/2→4I11/2channel) → SRS (λSt1 = 1.1741μm of ωSRS≈ 904 cm-1promotion vibration mode) wavelength conversion

“…It was practically the same as for LuVO 4 :Nd 3+ self-Raman laser recently described in [18]. As shown in Fig.…”

Random lasing in Nd:LuVO_4 crystal powder

“…Recently Nd 3+ :LuVO 4 has attracted much attention since it was first reported by C. Maunier et al in 2002 [12]. It has the highest absorption and emission cross-sections among vanadates, 6 :LuVO 4 crystal has been recently confirmed by the demonstration of passively Qswitched laser-diode pumped nanosecond self-Raman laser operating at cascade downconverted frequency [13].…”

Passively Q-switched mode-locked Nd3+:LuVO4laser by LT-GaAs saturable absorber

“…[2], and even wider fluorescence line width (Δλ ≈ 1.5 nm) [3,4]. Recently, the studies on the CW and Q-switched laser performance of the crystal have confirmed its excellent lasing properties [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. The 1.06 μm continuous-wave and actively Q-switched laser output reached 12.55 W and 5.42 W, respectively [5], and the 1.06 μm passive Qswitched output reached 4.6 W [7].…”
