Abstract

Here, we demonstrate the broadband spectra and efficient laser performance of a disordered Nd:SrLaMgAlO (Nd:ASL) crystal. The polarized absorption and emission spectra were characterized and calculated with the Judd⁻Ofelt (J⁻O) theory, and the results show that this crystal has relatively large σ polarized absorption and emission cross sections, with peak emission cross sections of 4.5 × 10 cm² at 1051 nm and an emission width of 30 nm at 1074 nm, which are favorable for pulsed lasers. The laser-diode-pumped continuous-wave (CW) and passively Q-switched lasers at 1051 nm were realized for the first time to our best knowledge. For CW laser, the maximum output power was 1.95 W with the slope efficiency of 42.6%, and for the passive Q-switching, the maximum output power was 0.73 W with the pulse width of 7.96 ns and peak power of 5.64 W. The results demonstrate that Nd:ASL crystal is a potential candidate for lasers, especially high-peak pulsed lasers such as Q-switching and mode-locking.

摘要

在此，我们展示了无序Nd:SrLaMgAlO（Nd:ASL）晶体的宽带光谱和高效激光性能。利用Judd⁻Ofelt（J⁻O）理论对偏振吸收和发射光谱进行了表征和计算，结果表明该晶体具有相对较大的σ偏振吸收和发射截面，在1051 nm处的峰值发射截面为4.5×10⁻²⁰ cm²，在1074 nm处的发射带宽为30 nm，这有利于脉冲激光器。据我们所知，首次实现了激光二极管泵浦的1051 nm连续波（CW）和被动调Q激光器。对于连续波激光器，最大输出功率为1.95 W，斜率效率为42.6%；对于被动调Q，最大输出功率为0.73 W，脉冲宽度为7.96 ns，峰值功率为5.64 W。结果表明，Nd:ASL晶体是激光器的潜在候选材料，特别是对于调Q和锁模等高峰值脉冲激光器。
