| Abstract: | The fluorescence dynamics in Er3+ and Yb3+ doped KGd(WO4)2 and KY(WO4)2 has been investigated. Lifetimes have been measured for the Yb (2F(5/2)), Er (4I(13/2)), and Er (4S(3/2)) levels around 1, 1.5, and 0.55 microm, respectively. The Yb (2F(5/2)) lifetimes show a decreasing trend toward the limiting Er (4I(11/2)) lifetime with increasing Er-to-Yb concentration ratio, whereas the Er (4I(13/2)) lifetimes are mostly unaffected by the doping concentrations. A rate equation analysis has been performed to explain the observed behavior and gain is calculated for a continuous-wave laser at 1.53 microm to find the optimum doping concentrations for high gain. |
