Thermal properties and cw-laser operation of the ytterbium doped borate Li@d6Y(BO@d3)@d3

Single crystals of Yb doped Li@d6Y(BO@d3)@d3 were obtained by Czochralski method. The first laser tests were encouraging. Different parameters have been investigated to improve cw-laser performances. Thermal properties but also ytterbium content, crystal thickness and pump polarisation are reported....

Zusammenfassung:Single crystals of Yb doped Li@d6Y(BO@d3)@d3 were obtained by Czochralski method. The first laser tests were encouraging. Different parameters have been investigated to improve cw-laser performances. Thermal properties but also ytterbium content, crystal thickness and pump polarisation are reported. The best crystal configuration was determined and led to high power cw-laser tests equal to 2W output power.
