Using tunable in-band laser diode (LD) pumping (791.1-798.2 nm), an orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength (OPDW) Nd:LaMgAl11O19/Nd:SrAl12O19 (Nd:LMA/Nd:SA) operation at 1297 nm and 1306 nm for the 4F3/2 → 4I13/2 transition is demonstrated for the first time. Optimization of LD temperature and pump focus position enabled efficient generation of both wavelengths at balanced power. The maximum combined continuous-wave (CW) output reached 3.32 W at 1297 nm and 1306 nm with a near 1:1 power ratio. Relative to the absorbed 796.56 nm pump power, the laser achieved maximum total slope efficiency and optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 20.7% and 18.5%, respectively. This 1297 nm and 1306 nm OPDW source shows significant potential for medical and scientific applications.
利用可调谐带内激光二极管(LD)泵浦(791.1 - 798.2 nm),首次展示了用于4F3/2→4I13/2跃迁的正交偏振双波长(OPDW)Nd:LaMgAl11O19/Nd:SrAl12O19(Nd:LMA/Nd:SA)在1297 nm和1306 nm处的运转。通过优化LD温度和泵浦聚焦位置,能够以平衡功率高效产生这两个波长。在1297 nm和1306 nm处,最大连续波(CW)组合输出达到3.32 W,功率比接近1:1。相对于吸收的796.56 nm泵浦功率,该激光器实现的最大总斜率效率和光光转换效率分别为20.7%和18.5%。这种1297 nm和1306 nm的OPDW光源在医学和科学应用中显示出巨大潜力。
