Abstract

Based on the fluorescence intensity ratio technique, the temperature distribution inside an Er:Yb:Lu2Si2O7 crystal was measured in real time when a 1.55 μm laser was operating. The polarized green up-conversion fluorescence in 500–580 nm of the crystal generated simultaneously under laser operation was used as the temperature probe. At a pump beam waist diameter of 400 μm, the highest temperature inside the crystal reached 507 K when the incident pump power and output mirror transmission were 11.13 W and 1.3%, respectively. The experimental result was compared with the theoretical temperature distribution inside the crystal simulated by the finite element analysis method, and the difference between them was analyzed.
