Abstract

Analysis of absorption, fluorescence, and site- selective excitation spectra of Er, Er-Yb, and Er- Cr in Ca5(PO4)3F suggests that this Er doped host has favorable spectral characteristics for producing eye-safe stimulated emission. Passive Q-switch performance of an Er:phoshate glass laser using Er:FAP has been demonstrated. Q- switched output of 6 mJ in a single 500 ns wide pulse with 19% efficiency was obtained.
