铒镱共掺三硼酸铝钇晶体维尔德常数的测量
Measurement of Verdet constant of Er,Yb∶YAl3(BO3)4 crystal
摘要
Abstract
In order to construct a unidirectional traveling-wave ring resonator or non-planar ring resonator that utilizes the magneto-optical effect of the laser gain medium itself without additional magneto-optical crystals,so as to meet the application requirements of preparing continuous wave single-frequency 1.5 μm solid-state lasers with power greater than watts,the Verdet constants of Er,Yb∶YAl3(BO3)4 crystals were experimentally investigated by means of magneto-optical modulation technique combined with balanced detection.The Verdet constants of Er,Yb∶YAl3(BO3)4 crystals at different doped atomic fractions and temperatures were obtained.The results show that the measured Verdet constants of Er,Yb∶YAl3(BO3)4 crystals with different doped atomic fractions of Yb ions,namely 10%,15%and 25%,are 48.11°/(T·m),33.05°/(T·m)and 10.88°/(T·m),respectively.When the temperature of Er,Yb∶YAl3(BO3)4 crystal with a Yb3+doped atomic fractions of 25%is increased from 13℃to 38℃,the Verdet constant showes a nonlinear decrease from 11.40°/(T·m)to 10.15°/(T·m).The Verdet constant of the Er,Yb∶YAl3(BO3)4 crystal is comparable with that of the yttrium aluminum garnet crystal.Moreover,the crystal exhibits paramagnetism.The magneto-optic rotation performance of the gain medium can be improved by either employing the low doped crystal or lowering the crystal temperature.This study provides a reference for the construction of continuous wave single frequency solid-state lasers without additional magneto-optical crystals.关键词
