AI Article Synopsis

  • - The text discusses the continuous wave (CW) laser operation and the initial operation of a mode-locked laser using Yb:LuAG ceramic material.
  • - The CW laser achieved a peak output power of 2.14 watts and a slope efficiency of 72%, indicating its effectiveness in generating light.
  • - The mode-locked laser was able to produce very short pulses lasting 699 femtoseconds, with an average output power of 200 milliwatts.

Article Abstract

CW laser operation and first mode-locked laser operation of Yb:LuAG ceramic are reported. Efficient CW laser operation was obtained with maximum output power of 2.14 W and a 72% slope efficiency. Femtosecond mode-locked laser operation was achieved with pulse duration of 699 fs and a 200 mW average output power.
