Design and optimization of a diode-pumped fiber-coupled Yb:Er glass waveguide laser

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An adaptive simulated annealing optimization algorithm is used to derive laser rate equation and waveguiding models with which the best design for a diode-pumped fiber-coupled, Yb:Er glass waveguide laser can be determined. Material parameters that correspond to commercially available laser-glass and diode-pump sources are used in this study. Given a continuous-wave 300-mW pump at 977 nm, approximately 48 mW of power at 1540 nm can be coupled into the LP01 mode of an optical fiber. Fabrication and alignment tolerance analyses are presented.
