Er,Yb:YAB crystals | |
26 Apr 2019 Er3+,Yb3+ co-doped yttrium-aluminium borate (Er, Yb:YAB) crystal is an alternative to commonly used Er,Yb:phosphate glass for application as an active medium of “eye-safe” (1,5-1,6 μm) lasers with high average output power in CW and pulsed modes. It is characterized by high thermal conductivity of 7,7 Wm-1K-1 and 6 Wm-1K-1 along a-axis and c-axis, respectively. Also features high efficiency of Yb3+ → Er3+ energy transfer (~94%) and weak upconversion losses due to very short lifetime of 4I11/2 excited state (~80 ns) facilitated by high maximum phonon energy of host (hvmax ~1500 cm-1). A strong and wide (~17 nm) absorption band is observed at 976 nm that coincides with emission spectrum of InGaAs laser diodes.Main features
