Yb:KGW
Yb3+:KGd(WO4)2(Yb:KGW)是最有前途的激光活性材料之一。Yb:KGW晶体有望取代Nd:YAG晶体和Yb:YAG晶体应用于大功率二极管泵浦激光系统。Yb:KGW在高功率、短脉冲飞秒激光及其广泛应用方面也具有巨大的潜力。
Yb3:KGW具有大的吸收系数,低的量子缺陷,高的吸收和发射截面
Yb离子简单的二能级电子结构避免了上转换、激发态吸收和浓度猝灭等非期望的损耗过程。与常用的Nd:YAG晶体相比,Yb:KGW晶体具有更大的吸收带宽、3-4倍的发射寿命、更高的存储容量、更低的量子缺陷,更适合于二极管泵浦。斯托克斯位移越小,加热越小,激光效率越高。与Yb:YAG和Yb:YCOB等掺Yb激光晶体相比,Yb:KGW具有更高的吸收截面(13-17倍)、更低的量子缺陷(~4%)、比Yb:YCOB高9倍的发射截面和比Yb:YAG宽的发射带、高的非线性折射系数和斜率效率最高(87%)。
特点
- 吸收线宽度宽,无需严格的温度控制即可获得相位匹配的LD泵浦源的泵浦波长;
- 量子缺陷低,泵浦波长非常接近激光输出波长,导致固有的激光斜率效率高,理论上量子效率可达90%左右;
- 由于泵浦的能级接近激光的上限,因此没有辐射弛豫的材料中的热负荷很低,仅是掺钕钕激光材料的热负荷的三分之一;
- 无激发态吸收和上转换,光转换效率高;
- 荧光寿命长,是相同的掺钕激光材料的三倍以上,有利于能量存储;
