摘要：

An optimization of the laser action performance from a diode-pumped Yb3+-doped LiNbO3:MgO crystal has been carried out. In this sense, efficient laser action at 1.06 mum when pumping with a fiber-coupled laser diode at 980 nm has been demonstrated, achieving laser slope efficiencies as high as 74%. The influence of output mirror transmittance on both pumping threshold and laser slope efficiency has been investigated, and the parameters of relevance in laser dynamics (emission cross section and optical losses) have been determined. Under the experimental conditions leading to maximum slope efficiency, the pump power at threshold was 300 mW, and the pump-to-laser conversion efficiency was 40%.
