摘要
We report on the room-temperature spectroscopic properties and continuous-wave laser operation of a new Yb:LUVO4 crystal. The peak absorption cross section for the pi-polarization is 8.42 X 10(-20) cm(2) at 985 nm, and the stimulated emission cross section at 1020 nm is 1.03 X 10(-20) cm(2). An output power of 0.36 W at 1041 nm was obtained with a slope efficiency of 47% by use ofTi:sapphire laser pumping. With diode pumping the output power reached 1.05 W at the highest available incident pump power of 6.8 W. (c) 2005 Optical Society of America.
