Abstract
We report results on a single-end pumped waveguide laser for sensing applications Output power in excess of 20 mW with 17% slope efficiency in robust single-frequency operation at 1533.5 nm is demonstrated. The overall laser cavity laser was 60-mm long but the active medium, an Er:Yb-doped phosphate glass, was only 9-mm long. The waveguide was fabricated by two-step Ag-Na ion-exchange technique. The overall cavity length including butt-coupled fiber- Bragg-grating mirrors was <60 mm. We also reports on recent work to reach 100-mW single-frequency output power. To extend the operation wavelength to 2-micron wavelength region we also developed new tellurite glasses. Preliminary results on glass investigation are also reported.
