摘要：

We report here the spectroscopy and the cw and tunable laser operation of Yb3+ in a CaF2 single crystal codoped with Nd3+ and Yb3+ ions. Laser emission is obtained between 1030 and 1055 nm after pumping into the Nd3+ ions around 795 nm and efficient Nd3+-> Yb3+ energy transfers. The efficiency of the energy transfers is attributed to the particular Nd3+-Yb3+ clusters formed in CaF2 because of charge compensation. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
