Investigation of nonlinear absorption in YAP and YAG single crystals doped with Co and co-doped with Si
Since our attempts to grow YAP:Co,Si non-linear absorbers have failed, we switched to Czochralski grown YAGs doped with the same ions. This time, however, the new material was found to exhibit excellent, non-l...

Wavelength tuning in Er3+,Yb3+:glass microchip lasers
The paper presents the investigation results of laser generation around 1.5 μm at different wavelengths. The shifts of the wavelength were achieved by the change of pump power, transmission of an output mirror...
