Abstract

The interest in diode pumped solid state lasers in the 2 μm region in recent years has been well documented. The need for compact, highly efficient sources has led to the study of new laser hosts which may improve performance. We have grown and analyzed the spectroscopic properties of two Tm³⁺-doped silicate oxyapatite hosts and one orthosilicate. These hosts are CaY₄(SiO₄)₃O [CaYSOAP], CaLa₄(SiO₄)₃O [CaLaSOAP], and Y₂SiO₅ [YSO or YOS]. The spectroscopic properties of these new hosts are compared with those of Tm³⁺:YAG, and indicate that these hosts may offer improvements to Tm³⁺:YAG in increasing tunability in the 2 μm region and in improving laser performance for the 2.3 μm transition. Preliminary laser results of a Tm:CaYSOAP laser are also presented.
