Resumo
There exists a strong interest in obtaining and optimizing lasers in the 3µm region because of the strong
absorption due to the OH vibration of water vapor, liquid water and consequently, biological tissue. This
wavelength may be used for LIDAR measurements of atmospheric humidity and laser surgery. For laser surgery
a small laser system is desirable with high rep rate and pulses of hundreds of microseconds. In this work
we investigate the pulse shape of an Er:LiYF4 laser as a function of the upper laser level energy transfer
upconversion. By spectroscopic measurements and numerical simulations we obtain a value for the upconversion
of 9x10-17 cm3/s. Experimentally, an output power increase at the beginning of the pulse of the qcw 2.8 µm laser
is observed. The laser generates higher average output power when operated at 250µs pulse duration than for
longer pulses. The observed decay at the beginning of the pulse is indicative for a process that does not depend
linearly on the upper laser level population. This could be verified in our simulations, which demonstrated
clearly that no other process than the upper laser upconversion is capable of reproducing the experimentally
obtained pulse decay. In this regime, 60% more efficiency is obtained than with pulses of several millisecond
duration when the laser is diode pumped at 970nm.
