Efficient cw thin disk laser operation of Yb:Ca4YO(BO3)3 with 20W output power
- 1. Institut fuer Laser-Physik, Universitaet Hamburg (Germany)
Description
We report on continuous-wave (cw) laser operation with Yb(15 at.%):Ca4YO(BO3)3 (Yb:YCOB) exceeding 20 W of output-power in the thin disk laser setup. 50% of optical-to-optical efficiency at a slope efficiency of more than 60% were realized in E parallel X-polarization. A tuning range of 95 nm with high output powers could be obtained. Furthermore, applying the pinhole method the fluorescence lifetime was determined to be 2.2 μs. The obtained results revealed that Yb:YCOB is a promising candidate for the generation of very short pulses at high pulse energies in the thin disk laser setup
