Evaluation of Laser Oscillation Properties in Polycrystalline Ceramic Slabs and Waveguides

Abstract

The laser characteristics of slab/composite and waveguide ceramic sample developed and provided by Dr. Ikesue of World Laboratory Co., Ltd. were evaluated. Four kinds of three layer composite ceramic slab (Pure-0.6 or 1.0at%Nd-Pure, and Gd-0.6 or 1.0at%Nd-Gd) were prepared for this experiment. At the end-pumping laser oscillation, approximately 50% of slope efficiency was achieved in all samples.
