摘要
CW and Q-switched KY(WO4)(2):Yb3+ with ytterbium concentration of 5%, 10%, and 20% laser operation under LD pumped have been investigated and the main characteristics of the KY(WO4)(2):Yb3+ laser are presented here. A maximum slope efficiency of 66% was achieved for this active medium. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
