Abstract

The absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum and fluorescence time of a mixed sesquioxide Nd:LuYO3 ceramic were measured at room temperature. Judd-Ofelt theory was applied to calculate the spectral parameters of Nd:LuYO3. The absorption cross section at 812 nm was calculated to be 0.99 × 10−20 cm2 with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 47.69 nm. The emission cross-section at 1077 nm was calculated to be 5.24 × 10−20 cm2 with FWHM of 11.62 nm. The fluorescence lifetime and quantum efficiency of the 4F3/2 multiplet were determined to be 228.4 μs and 85.2%, respectively. Continuous-wave (CW) laser operation of Nd:LuYO3 ceramic was demonstrated. Simultaneous laser operation at 1075.24 and 1080.03 nm was achieved with maximum output power of 490 mW and slope efficiency of 6.36%.
