High Slope Efficiency and Low Threshold in a Diode Pumped Epitaxially Grown Yb:YAG Waveguide Laser
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
We report the 1.03 μm laser operation of a diode-pumped Yb doped YAG planar waveguide at room temperature. The fabrication of multilayer planar waveguides by Liquid Phase Epitaxy and their characterization are also described.
Laser results (40 mW threshold, 80 % slope efficiency) obtained with a 2.9 % output coupler compares favourably with bulk results reported elsewhere.
