本文首次报道了以中心发射波长为1930 nm的GaSb激光二极管叠加作为泵浦源的Ho:YLF激光器带内泵浦的结果。Ho:YLF是一种非常有吸引力的激光材料,因为上能级的寿命比Ho:YAG长得多(~ 14 ms),发射截面也比Ho:YAG高。此外,Ho:YLF中的热透镜更弱,即使在强烈的端泵浦下也有助于产生衍射受限光束。
In this paper we present for the first time results on in-band pumping of a Ho:YLF laser using a GaSb laser diode stack with centre emission wavelength at 1930 nm as pump source. Ho:YLF is a very attractive laser material, because the lifetime of the upper laser level is much longer ( ~ 14 ms) than in Ho:YAG and the emission cross sections are higher. Additionally the thermal lens in Ho:YLF is much weaker, which helps to generate diffraction limited beams even under intense end-pumping.
