Erbium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet-manufacture,factory,supplier from China

Research BackgroundLithium Yttrium Fluoride (LiYF4, YLF) crystal has many excellent properties such as low melting point, low phonon energy, small thermal lens effect, natural polarization, etc. It is a laser matrix material with excellent performance. YLF belongs to the tetragonal structure of scheelite, and the space group is I41/a.

1. 3 2 ~ 3 μm laser crystals doped with Cr2+ The mid-infrared luminescence of transition metal ions (Ni2+, Co2+, Cr2+, Fe2+, etc.) is based on 3d→3d transitions. According to the different types of sites occupied by transition metal ions in the host material, they can be divided into two categories: occupying octahedral sites with inversion symmetry (such as: Ni2+, Co2+ doped halides); Symmetric tetrahedral sites (such as: Ni2+, Co2+, Cr2+, Fe2+ doped II-VI compounds).

1. ~ 2 μm laser crystals doped with Tm3+ or Ho3+Tm3+ has a strong absorption near ~790 nm and a large absorption cross-section, so the ~790 nm commercial LD can be directly used as a pump source.

1. 2   ~ 2.3 μm laser crystals doped with Tm3+ Compared with the 2 μm band (3F4 → 3H6) of Tm3+, the 2.3 μm laser operation based on the 3H4 → 3H5 transition of the Tm3+ doped laser medium has the following advantages: (1) ~790 nm LD is directly pumped to the upper energy level of the laser. Tm3+ has a strong absorption around 790 nm (directly corresponding to the 3H4 → 3H6 transition), which can match the emission wavelength of the current mature commercial AlGaAs LD, so as to realize high-performance LD pumping all-solid-state high-efficiency 2.3 μm laser operation.

1.5  ~ 4 μm laser crystals doped with Fe2+ Compared with Cr:ZnSe, Fe:ZnSe has a smaller band gap and is prone to produce thermally induced multi-phonon quenching, so both laser power and efficiency are low. In 1999, Adams et al. realized the tunable wavelength of 3.98-4.54 μm at low temperature for the first time in Fe:ZnSe, and obtained laser output with slope efficiency of 8.2%. Pumped by Er3+ doped or Cr:ZnSe @ 2.7 μm laser, 4.0 μm wavelength and 1 W level continuous laser output have been obtained at room temperature. In 2020, Pushkin et al.

1. 4  ~ 3 μm laser crystals doped with Er2+, U4+, Ho3+, Dy3+  As an active ion, Ho3+ has achieved laser output in the ~3 μm band (5I6→5I7). In 1976, researchers first realized 2.9 μm laser output in Ho:YAP crystal. In 1990, Bowman et al. obtained 2.85 μm and 2.92 μm laser outputs in Ho:YAP crystals, and obtained 2.92 μm band-tuned laser outputs in Ho:YAP crystals in the following year. In 2017, Nie et al. pumped Ho, Pr: LiLuF4 crystals with a 1 150 nm Raman fiber laser, achieving 2.95 μm watt-level laser output for the first time. In 2018, Zhang et al.

2.3 Lithium tantalate single crystal filmAfter the 1980s, thin film preparation technology has developed rapidly. Currently, the commonly used preparation technologies of lithium tantalate single crystal (www.wisoptic.com) thin film mainly include chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, magnetron sputtering and sol-gel method.The chemical vapor deposition method synthesizes a thin film on a substrate through a chemical reaction and accurately controls the chemical composition of the product. It has the characteristics of low stress and good quality.

03 Experimental results and analysisBy optimizing the cavity length parameters of Nd:YVO4 (www.wisoptic.com) laser under high-power pump injection, a 1064 nm high peak power narrow pulse laser output with an average power of 26 W, a repetition frequency of 20 kHz, and a single pulse width of 5 ns was obtained when the 888 nm pump light power was 65 W; after the 1064 nm fundamental frequency infrared light was doubled by the LBO crystal, a 532 nm laser with a maximum power of 16 W was finally obtained, and the infrared to green light conversion efficiency reached 61.5%.

3 The main application of lithium tantalate crystal3.3 E-O Q-SwitchThe basis of laser Q-switched technology is a special optical component - a fast intracavity optical switch generally called Q-switch. The Q value is an indicator for evaluating the quality of the optical resonant cavity. The higher the Q value, the lower the required pump threshold and the easier it is for the laser to oscillate. The purpose of laser Q-switching technology is to compress the pulse width and increase the peak power.
