【Abstract】 Transitions of LD pumped Er 3+,Yb 3+ co-doped glass laser are rather complicated. Considering energy transfer between Er 3+ and Yb 3+, cross-relaxation, upconversion luminescence and other transition processes, rate equations of quasi-three energy-level-system of the Er 3+,Yb 3+ co-doped laser is presented and useful conclusions are drawn by numerical analysis in the paper. The optimal Er 3+ concentration is 0 3%—1 0%(corresponding ot (3—10)×10 25/m 3) and media length 1—0 5mm(The length is shorter with higher Er 3+ concentration). The pump laser waist in the media should be close (equivalent is the best) to the oscillating laser waist so that the pumping threshold is low and slope efficiency high. With smaller pumping waist (less than 50 μm is better), the threshold is lower. The optimal transmission of output coupler is about 1%. A shorter cavity length can make the threshold smaller. As to the LD emitted ellipse beam, it is better to round the pump beam so as to improve the slope efficiency.更多还原
