Title: The Influence of Pump Wavelength on Er:YAG Green-Emitting Laser Characteristics
Abstract: Mathematical modeling is used to study the influence of pump wavelength on the emission of an Er(0.5 at.%):YAG laser on the transition /sup 4/S/sub 3/2//spl rarr//sup 4/I/sub 15/2/ (561 nm). Three pump wavelengths (direct pumping: 488 nm, upconversion pumping: 800 and 810 nm) are investigated and the corresponding laser emission regimes are discussed. For upconversion pumping, we find an optimum pump wavelength and optimum resonator losses for lowering of the continuous-wave emission threshold.
