摘要
We report the first demonstration of a diode-pumped anisotropic ceramic laser that uses microdomain-controlled neodymium-doped hexagonal fluorapatite [Nd3+:Ca-10(PO4)(6)F-2, Nd:FAP] polycrystalline ceramics as the gain medium, which were fabricated by the rare-earth-assisted magnetic grain-orientation control method, as a step toward achieving giant micro photonics. The laser delivers 1063.10 and 1063.22 nm output beams when pumped with a central wavelength of 807.5nm and a 2nm bandwidth diode laser operating in quasi-continuous-wave (QCW) mode. We obtained a maximum QCW peak power of 255mW with an uncoated 2 at.% Nd:FAP material.
