摘要
The 4-at.% Tm: Sc2SiO5 (Tm:SSO) crystal is successfully obtained by the Czochralski method. The optical properties and thermal conductivity of the crystal are investigated. The broad continuous wave (CW) laser output of (100)-cut Tm: SSO with the dimensions of 3 mm x 3 mm x 3 mm under laser diode (LD)-pumping is realized. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the laser emitting reaches up to 21 nm. The laser threshold of Tm: SSO is measured to be 0.43 W. Efficient diode-pumped CW laser performance of Tm: SSO is demonstrated with a slope efficiency of 25.9% and maximum output power of 934 mW.
