Abstract:
Cascaded mid-infrared (MIR) Er : YAG pulsed lasers at room temperature are reported. The characteristic wavelength of the cascaded emission is experimentally observed to be 1469 nm, and that of the excited-state absorption is determined as 1676 nm. Er: YAG crystals with doping concentrations (atomic number fractions) of 7.5% and 10% are adopted to compare the MIR output energy under the cascade and non-cascade conditions. For the Er: YAG with a doping concentration of 7. 5 , the maximum single pulse energy of MIR laser increases from 0.62 mJ (non-cascade) to 0. 99 mJ (cascade), increasing by about 59. 7%, and for Er : YAG with a doping concentration of 10%, that increases from 1. 04 mJ (non-cascade) to 1. 51 mJ (cascade), increasing by about 45.2%. The experimental results confirm the existence of cascade output at room temperature in low-doped Er: YAG crystals. The cascade is helpful to improve the single pulse energy of the mid-infrared laser.
