Yb:CaGdAlO4
- Yb:CaGdAlO4(called CALGO) is a promising new laser gain material which possess several important advantages. The crystal structure of CALGO is tetragonal. When it is pumped at 979nm under pi configuration, we can get broad emission spectra from 994nm to 1050nm in theta configuration. This implies a very small quantum defect (down to 1.5%) and gives a good expectation of obtaining ultra-short pulse. Its thermal conductivity is also high: k=6.7W/m/K, which means it can be used for high power laser applications.
-
CASTECH’s Yb:CaGdAlO4 is featured by
• High absorption coefficient @ 979 nm
• High stimulated emission cross section
• Low laser threshold
• Extremely low quantum defect
• Broad output at 994-1050 nm
• High slope efficiency with diode pumping (up to 55%)
• Various Yb-doping concentration
Applications
• Over 5.5W output power is obtained by 23W incident pumping diode laser with 10% output coupler.
• Output power as high as 12.5W and 94fs pulses for 28W pumping power was reported.
