摘要
We present for the first time 1.5-mum laser emission in Yb-Er:GdCa4O(BO3)(3) (GdCOB). The crystals were grown by the Czochralski method from platinum crucibles. Spectroscopic and laser tests of the crystals are described. A continuous-wave output power of 80 mW was achieved in a monolithic microchip cavity under laser-diode pumping.
