Radiation induced losses in Ytterbium doped laser materials

In this work, two types of ytterbium (Yb) doped laser materials are studied, crys-talline Yb:YAG and amorphous Yb/Al silica in both preform and fiber. Yb is suitableas a laser ion because of its simple energy level structure and low quantum defect.The ground and excited energy levels are separated b...
