High-efficiency ytterbium-doped fluoride fibre laser

CW tunable laser emission between the 2 F 5 2 and 2 F 7 2 levels of trivalent ytterbium has been studied in single mode ZBLAN fibres. Differential quantum efficiency of more than 60%, 100 mW output power and tunability range between 975 and 1055 nm were obtained with various cavity configurations an...

Summary:CW tunable laser emission between the 2 F 5 2 and 2 F 7 2 levels of trivalent ytterbium has been studied in single mode ZBLAN fibres. Differential quantum efficiency of more than 60%, 100 mW output power and tunability range between 975 and 1055 nm were obtained with various cavity configurations and ytterbium concentrations.
