Abstract
Diode-pumped Yb-doped glass lasers have received considerable attention for applications such as high-power beam production or femtosecond pulses generation. In this paper, we evaluate the laser potential of three different glass families doped with Yb3+: alkali lead fluorborate (PbO–PbF2–B2O3), heavy metal oxide (Bi2O3–PbO–Ga2O3) and niobium tellurite (TeO2–Nb2O5–K2O–Li2O). Spectroscopic properties were studied for the samples and calculations of the minimum laser pump intensity (Imin), saturation fluence (Usat) and the theoretical limit of peak power (Pmax) are also presented. A comparison of laser properties of these three different glasses and their importance is shown and analyzed.
