We report on the diode-pumped continuous-wave laser operation of a c-cut Nd:YAlO 3 (YAP) laser crystal at various low gain emission wavelengths around 1.1 μm by using a simple and compact linear cavity and a glass etalon. Inserting and tilting the etalon in a particular position, single-wavelength operation at 1099 nm is achieved first, at low pump power, with a maximum output power value of 0.15 W. Then, increasing the pump power leads to dual-wavelength operation at 1079 and 1099 nm with a maximum output power value of 2.28 W and a laser slope efficiency value of about 20%. Further tilting the etalon, dual- and single-wavelength laser operations could be achieved, for the first time to our knowledge, at 1090 and 1106 nm. Single-wavelength laser operations at 1106 and 1090 nm are obtained with maximum output power values of 0.25 and 1.44 W, respectively, and simultaneous dual-wavelength lasing could be obtained with a maximum output power value of 1.89 W and a laser slope efficiency value of nearly 18%.

Richard Moncorge and F. Auzel
- Abstract
Cet article revient sur ce qui fait la specificite des ions de terres rares dans les solides et sur les fondamentaux qui permettent de comprendre leurs proprietes optiques de base : niveaux d’energie, transitions optiques radiatives et non radiatives, interactions entre les ions et transferts d’energie. Il montre comment ces proprietes peuvent etre differentes d’un materiau a l’autre si on tient compte des transitions optiques entre configurations electroniques fondamentale et excitee, et si on fait intervenir des transferts de charges avec des ions du materiau hote. Ces proprietes optiques et spectrales sont mises a profit dans de nombreuses applications.

A promising alternative to the widespread Z-scan technique has been recently proposed. This technique, named Baryscan, is based upon the use of a Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) and is about 170 times more sensitive than the Z-scan technique while preserving its simple theoretical scheme and ease of implementation. In this paper, we demonstrate both numerically and experimentally that inserting a phase plate before the PSD and setting an opaque disk as close as possible to its active area results in a substantial sensitivity enhancement of the Baryscan technique.

International audience; Mid-infrared (IR) lasers are of interest for a variety of applications including environmental sensing, LIDAR and military counter measures. However, this wavelength range lacks powerful, coherent, robust and compact sources. A solution can lie in chalcogenide glasses as host materials for rare earth ions. With an extended infrared transparency, low phonon energy limiting the non radiative multiphonon relaxation rates and suitable rare earth solubility, sulfide glasses based on Ge-Ga-Sb-S system make available radiative transitions in the mid-IR range. The glasses with nominal composition of Ge20Ga5Sb10S65 doped with Er3+ (500 to 10000 ppm) were prepared by means of conventional melting and quenching method. The Er3+, widely studied in glass fibers for near-IR amplification, was initially selected for the transition 4I9/2 to 4I11/2 emitting at around 4.5 μm in order to demonstrate the ability of this sulfide composition for midinfrared fiber lasers application. In these objectives, absorption and emission spectra have been recorded and the radiative decay lifetime of excited levels (4I9/2, 4I11/2 and 4I13/2) has been determined. These last experimental results were compared with those obtained by Judd-Ofelt model from absorption cross-sections of all observable transitions. Therefore, the 4I9/2 radiative quantum efficiency was estimated at 67 %. The emission cross-section was 2.6x10-21 cm2 at 4.6 μm obtained by Fütchbauer-Ladenburg theory. The product of measured lifetime and emission cross-section for 4I9/2 -> 4I11/2 transition is about 1.87x10-24 cm2.s is comparable with that for GaLaS glasses. The fiber drawing of the Er3+ doped Ge20Ga5Sb10S65 glasses and measurements of optical losses in mid-IR are currently in progress and first results were presented.

Results of diode-pumped cw and fs laser operation of an Yb 3+ :CaF 2 single crystal are reported. With a 5-at.-% Yb 3+ -doped sample we obtained 5.8 W output power at 1053 nm, for 15 W of incident pump power at 980 nm. In passively mode-locked diode-pumped regime, using a Brewster-cut, 5-at.-% Yb 3+ -doped sample and prisms for dispersion compensation, the oscillator provided pulses as short as 150 fs, with 880 mW of average power and up to 1.4 W average output power, with pulse duration of 220 fs, centred at 1049 nm. The laser wavelength could be tuned from 1018 nm to 1072 nm in cw regime and from 1040 nm to 1053 nm in mode-locked regime. Using chirped mirrors for dispersion compensation, we obtained up to 1.74 W of average power, with pulse duration of 230 fs. For all these reasons, Yb:CaF 2 crystal is showing the great potential as active medium for high average power femtosecond oscillators and as amplifier medium for femtosecond pulses.

An experiment has been performed to analyse a nonlinear lensing effect in a flashlamp pumped Cr 3+ :LiSAF laser which has been found to be adiverging lensing effect. The latter is due to the refrctive index change which is assumed to be proportional to the excited ion population. The corresponding constant of proportionality has been measured from the time variation of the laser pulses far-field divergence.

We have studied the Yb3+ (reversible reaction) Tm3+ nonradiative energy transfer processes responsible for population of the 1G4 thulium level under Yb3+ or Tm3+ selective laser excitation of YLF:Tm3+,Yb3+ crystal. The microparameters and the rates of the energy transfer via cross-relaxation schemes are determined. It is concluded that the process of populating the 1G4 thulium level is greatly affected by up-conversion processes not only from the 3H4 but also from the 3F4 level, proceeding within the static decay model.

We report CW blue laser operation at 469.2, 471, and 473 nm by efficient intracavity second-harmonic generation and sum-frequency generation of the R2→Z5 (938.5 nm) and R1→Z5 (946 nm) F43/2→I49/2 intermultiplet transitions in Nd:YAG with an LiB3O5 nonlinear crystal. Single-wavelength laser operation at 469.2 nm and multiwavelength operation at 469.2, 471, and 473 nm are obtained with maximum output powers of 1.4 and 0.15 W, respectively, by using a glass etalon as frequency selector. The 469 nm blue laser is an efficient pumping source of Pr3+-doped materials.

This paper reports the main spectroscopic characterizations and laser experiments carried out on two new crystal hosts: the! yttrium orthosilicate Y2SiO5 and the silicate oxyapatite Sr2Y8(SiO4)6O2 (hereafter noted SYS), doped with Ytterbium and Erbium for a 1,55 μm laser emission and with Thulium for a 2 μm emission. Four new lasers have been demonstrated at 1,554 μm, 1,576 μm, 1,99 μm and 2,05 μm for respectively Yb,Er:SYS; Yb,Er:Y2SiO5; Tm:SYS and Tm:Y2SiO5. If for the Yb,Er codoped materials laser performances are still poor compared with the Yb,Er phosphate glass, the Tm doped materials exhibit laser performances similar to the Tm:YAG and look very promising.

International audience; We present a diode-pumped regenerative amplifier based on an Yb:CaF2 crystal optimized to produce short pulses for various repetition rates ranging from 100 Hz to 10 kHz. The shortest pulse duration generated is 178 fs, and the corresponding energy is 1:4 mJ before compression (620 μJ after), at a repetition rate of 500 Hz for 16 W of pump power. The bandwidth is 10 nm centered at 1040 nm. Higher repetition rate regimes have also been explored, allowing an optical-to-optical efficiency up to 10% at a high repetition rate.

Photoluminescence (PL) of Molecular Beam Epitaxy grown Er doped Ga 0.55Al0.45As has been studied under continuous and pulsed laser excitation . The observed PL lines are attributed to transitions from the first excited stated 4I13/2 to the ground state 4I15/2 . The life time of the 4I13/2 level is found to be 1 ms at 10K, which is comparable to the decay time observed in insulators.Using two-beam experiments we show that there are losses (Auger effect) that occur during the PL excitation.We propose the following model for the Er PL excitation process: excitons bound to Er are created and decay non radiatively by energy transfer to the rare earth (which is the cause of the Er related PL) or to free carriers by Auger effect (which is the cause of the observed losses).
