Diode-pumped room-temperature continuous wave Tm3+ doped Lu2SiO5 laser

We report on room‐temperature laser actions of a novel thulium‐doped crystal Tm:Lu2SiO5 (LSO) under diode pumping. An optical‐optical conversion efficiency of 12% and a slope efficiency of 21% were obtained with the maximum continuous‐wave (CW) output power of 0.67 W. The emission wavelengths of Tm:...

Zusammenfassung:	We report on room‐temperature laser actions of a novel thulium‐doped crystal Tm:Lu2SiO5 (LSO) under diode pumping. An optical‐optical conversion efficiency of 12% and a slope efficiency of 21% were obtained with the maximum continuous‐wave (CW) output power of 0.67 W. The emission wavelengths of Tm:LSO laser were centered at 2058.4 nm with bandwidth of ∼ 13.6 nm. (© 2008 by Astro Ltd., Published exclusively by WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)
