Abstract

Continuous wave (CW) laser oscillation of a stoichiometric microchip Yb3Al5O12 (YbAG) crystal was realized at room temperature (RT) with laser diode (LD) pumping. For single-emitter LD pumping, the maximum output power was 70 mW at an oscillation wavelength of 1079 nm. The maximum slope efficiency and the maximum optical-to-optical efficiency were 13% and 10% for the absorbed pump power, respectively. It is a first result of CW operation by LD pumping in stoichiometric material lasers.

Key Words   
Stoichiometric Yb material, YbAG crystal, Quasi-three-level, LD pumped, CW laser oscillat
