“…A more complete compilation of properties for most Yb based laser materials will be presented elsewhere [100]; here we show only Yb materials for which both room and cryogenic temperature data are available. Table 6 shows the laser material, the crystal classification (anaxial (A) and uniaxial (U)), the absorption span δλ abs (FWHM) and wavelength of peak absorption λ P abs , the absorption bandwidth ∆λ abs (FWHM), peak absorption cross-section σ P abs , the wavelength of the peak stimulated-emission cross-section λ P em , the emission bandwidth ∆λ em (FWHM), the value of the peak stimulated-emission cross-section σ P em , the upper level ( 2 F 5/2 ) fluorescence lifetime τ F , the absolute temperature, and the references from whence the data were taken [3,6,30,[101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110].…”

“…Comprehensive reviews of the hydrothermal growth process and its application to the development of new and promising laser crystals have recently been published [116][117][118]. In earlier work [104] we presented the first room temperature absorption cross-section data for hydrothermally-grown Yb:Lu 2 O 3 , as well as the emission cross-sections determined by the method of reciprocity. An image of a recently grown, faceted, large Yb:Lu 2 O 3 crystal is shown in Figure 34.…”

Ultrafast laser physics continues to advance at a rapid pace, driven primarily by the development of more powerful and sophisticated diode-pumping sources, the development of new laser materials, and new laser and amplification approaches such as optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification. The rapid development of high average power cryogenic laser sources seems likely to play a crucial role in realizing the long-sought goal of powerful ultrafast sources that offer concomitant high peak and average powers. In this paper, we review the optical, thermal, thermo-optic and laser parameters important to cryogenic laser technology, recently achieved laser and laser materials progress, the progression of cryogenic laser technology, discuss the importance of cryogenic laser technology in ultrafast laser science, and what advances are likely to be achieved in the near-future.

A laser diodes dual-end-pumped 1064 nm pulsed laser based on two Nd:LuAG crystal slabs using a quarter-wave plate to reduce depolarization loss is reported. The experimental results showed that both the degree of polarization and conversion efficiency increased. The electro-optic Q-switched operation was realized at a repetition rate of 500 Hz with single pulse energy of 13 mJ output. Its slope efficiency and optical-to-optical efficiency were 24 and 20 % respectively. The shortest pulse width of 9 ns was recorded, corresponding to an output peak power as high as 1.4 MW for each pulse. The beam quality factors of the pulsed laser were M 2 x ¼ 1:7 and M 2 y ¼ 1:85.
