Problems solved by technology

[0008] At present, the main problems of erbium lasers are: (1) The absorption efficiency of commercial LD ​​pump sources (such as 980nm, 800nm) is low, resulting in low efficiency of LD pumps, which is not conducive to laser performance testing of crystal pumps ; (2) There are a variety of highly competitive transition luminescence channels, including red and green visible band up-conversion, near-infrared luminescence, etc.; (3) Low luminous efficiency; (4) There is a self-final state bottleneck effect

Description

technical field [0001] The application relates to a novel mid-infrared ultrafast laser crystal material, its preparation method and application, and belongs to the field of inorganic crystal materials. Background technique [0002] Ultrafast laser (pulse width picoseconds (10 -12 s) to femtoseconds (10 -15 s) magnitude) has the characteristics of extremely high peak power, extremely short duration, and extremely wide spectrum, and is one of the frontier research hotspots that scientists are rushing to. The market potential of ultrafast lasers is huge. However, at present, most ultrafast laser sources are concentrated in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared bands. The development of laser technology, including ultrafast lasers in the mid-infrared band including ~2.7μm, lags behind significantly. Since 2011, Nature Photonics has published a series of papers. A group of top international scientists have reviewed the development status and trends of mid-infrared lasers,...
