摘要
We report on the first laser operation of a Sm3+-doped monoclinic KGd(WO4)2 double tungstate crystal in the red spectral range. Pumped by a frequency-doubled optically pumped semiconductor laser (2 omega-OPSL) at 479.1 nm, the 0.8 at. % Sm:KGd(WO4)2 laser generated an output power up to 17.6 mW at 649.1 nm (the 4G5/2 -> 6H9/2 transition) with a slope efficiency of 16.9%, a laser threshold down to 29 mW and a linear polarization. The laser exhibited a self-pulsing behavior, delivering mu s-long pulses with a repetition rate of a few kHz. The polarized spectroscopic properties of Sm3+ ions were determined as well.(c) 2023 Optica Publishing Group
