摘要：

Epitaxial monoclinic double tungstate laser crystals were grown with high crystalline quality. Based on these Yb-doped composites, laser operation was demonstrated. Continuous-wave laser emission of a Yb:KYW/KYW crystal was achieved at 1030 nm. The 25-mum-thin Yb:KYW layer was pumped at wavelengths near 980 nm by a Ti:sapphire laser. A maximum output power of 40 mW was obtained at room temperature. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
