摘要
Spectroscopic properties around 1.35 mum are investigated for Nd3+-doped KY(WO4)(2) and KGd(WO4)(2) bi-axial single crystals. Unlike previously published works, all measurements have been done along optical axes. Our aim is to evaluate the feasibility of an eye-safe laser emission into the range 1.51-1.57 mum. A complete Judd-Ofelt analysis and excited state absorption (ESA) have been undertaken so that we can give laser gains at 1.35 mum. Then we compare several schemes of Raman laser actions.
