摘要：

An efficient and high output power laser has been realized for an Er:Yb:YAl3(BO3)(4) crystal end pumped by a 970 nm diode laser. Under the absorbed pump power of 15.5 W, quasi-continuous-wave output power of 2.0 W at 1.5-1.6 mu m has been obtained in a hemispherical cavity. The laser had an absorbed pump threshold power of 4.7 W and a slope efficiency of 21%. The influence of the laser output power and output coupler transmission on the output laser spectra has also been investigated. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
