研究目的
Investigating the continuous-wave and tunable laser operation of transparent 10 at% Yb:Y3Sc1.5Al3.5O12 (Yb:YSAG) ceramics as gain media for solid-state lasers.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that 10 at% Yb:YSAG transparent ceramics are suitable for generating laser emissions with broad tunable bandwidth, making them a promising gain medium for ultrafast laser sources. The continuous-wave and tunable laser operations showed significant output powers and slope efficiencies, with potential for further improvement through optimization of the ceramic composite structure and coating treatments.
研究不足
The study mentions that the optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of ceramics can be improved by an appropriate coating treatment on ceramic samples, indicating potential areas for optimization. Additionally, the performance of ceramics can be improved by optimizing the ceramic composite structure based on the temperature field distribution inside the ceramic.
