In this paper we present a comprehensive review of the work done by our group on diode-
pumped bulk erbium–ytterbium microlasers. Starting from an analysis of the optical …

A comprehensive review of the work done by our group, during the last few years, on diode-
pumped cw operating bulk Er: Yb phosphate glass is presented. The high performance of …

Rare-Earth-Doped Fiber Lasers and Amplifiers, Second Edition discusses the essential
principles, operating characteristics, and current technology of the main fiber laser and …

Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The
Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this …

Microchip lasers are miniature diode-pumped solid-state devices formed by dielectrically
coating thin platelets of gain media. Their simplicity and small size give them the potential for …

Lasers continue to be an amazingly robust field of activity. Anyone seeking a photon source
is now confronted with an enormous number of possible lasers and laser wavelengths to …

A spectroscopic Judd–Ofelt investigation has been performed on Er 3+ in the doubly doped
phosphate glass: Er 3+, Yb 3+ in order to assess its potential as a laser system. The …

Over the past three decades, trivalent erbium (Er3, 4f11) has been considered an important
contender as an activator or as a sensitizer in a large number of midinfrared solid-state …

Proton elastic and inelastic scattering to the first excited state of 6He have been measured
over a wide angular range using a 40.9 A MeV 6He beam. The data have been analyzed …

This paper demonstrates an eye-safe 1.5 μm continue wave (CW) Er: Yb: YAl 3 (BO 3) 4 (Er:
Yb: YAB) microchip laser with dual-end pumping. By using a 1.5 mm thick Er: Yb: YAB …
