Article Abstract
We have demonstrated a 3-µm all-solid-state single-frequency laser with a stable center frequency and a switchable wavelength using the intra-cavity Fabry-Perot etalon method. Experimentally, the central wavelengths of the laser for the single-longitudinal mode are 2728 and 2794 nm, with maximum output powers of 268 and 440 mW, respectively. The corresponding single-longitudinal mode linewidths are 25 and 11 MHz. In particular, the central wavelengths of the single-longitudinal mode laser remain almost constant as the incident pump power increases. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first instance of using a laser diode to directly pump Er:CaF block single crystals for single-frequency lasers in the 3 µm region. Additionally, it achieves the highest output power of a 3-µm all-solid-state single-longitudinal mode.

In this paper, we report on our investigation of a high-power laterally coupled distributed feedback (LC-DFB) semiconductor laser with high-reflection (HR) and anti-reflection (AR) coatings and with an asymmetric phase-shift (APS) grating structure. The high-power single-mode output characteristics of the devices are achieved by introducing an APS structure within the laterally coupled grating while maintaining a high single longitudinal mode (SLM) yield when the phase of the HR-coated facet changes randomly. Both our theoretical analysis and experimental work show that the HR-AR-APS LC-DFB laser can achieve high-power single-mode characteristics with a high SLM yield, demonstrating significant potential for many applications.

High-quality Er:YAG ceramics with precisely controlled Er-ion doping were synthesized, providing an optimal medium for laser and amplifier applications. Waveguide structures were inscribed within the ceramics to support low-loss propagation with a large mode area.

We established a theoretical model that revealed the oscillation mechanism of the dual-wavelength SLM Q-switched laser operation. Fabry-Perot (F-P) etalons were used as auxiliary mode-selection elements, which not only enabled gain control for the two wavelengths, but also enhanced the side-mode suppression capability of the pre-laser Q-switching process.

Leveraging spatial hole-burning-induced refractive index modulation, a self-adaptive Bragg grating with sub-MHz bandwidth is formed, enabling ultranarrow linewidth single-longitudinal-mode lasing. The linear cavity design with bidirectional pumping achieves an output power of 20.

We demonstrated a 972 nm single-frequency distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) Yb-doped fiber laser core-pumped by a watt-level 915 nm Nd-doped fiber laser. A 9 mm long home-fabricated highly Yb-doped silica fiber was used to build the DBR cavity. The direct output power of the 972 nm single frequency fiber laser (SFFL) could reach 42.
