Abstract
In recent years the Yb3+ ion has been recognized as a dopant with interesting potential for InGaAs- diode-ptunped solid state lasers in the 1 μm region.1 We present here a new laser host with 100% Yb3+ doping, KYb(WO4)2 (hereafter KYbW). Stoichiometric laser materials of this type are advantageous in laser devices with thin disk or waveguide designs and are especially suited for diode laser pumping.
