Journal ArticleDOI
Branching ratios, cross sections, and radiative lifetimes of rare earth ions in solids: Application to Tm3+ and Ho3+ ions in LiYF4
TL;DR: In this paper, branching ratios, cross sections and radiative lifetimes for rare earth ions in solids are considered for Tm and Ho in YLF as a test case.
Book ChapterDOI
Judd-Ofelt theory: principles and practices
TL;DR: The Judd-Ofelt theory of the intensities of rare earth ions was proposed by Wybourne as discussed by the authors, who suggested that the coincidence of discovery was indicative that the time was right for the solution of the problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of Tm and Ho materials; spectroscopy and lasers
TL;DR: A review of Tm and Ho materials is presented in this paper, covering some fundamental aspects on the spectroscopy and laser dynamics in both single and co-doped systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectroscopy and modeling of solid state lanthanide lasers: Application to trivalent Tm3+ and Ho3+ in YLiF4 and LuLiF4
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical laser model was developed that is easily adapted to any lanthanide ion in a crystal host, and the model was used to predict diode side-pumped laser performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Tm:ZBLAN and Tm:Silica fiber lasers; Spectroscopy and tunable pulsed laser operation around 1.9 μm
Brian M. Walsh,Norman P. Barnes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared Tm:ZBLAN and Tm-doped silica glass, and showed that the phonon energy in these materials influences both the pump manifold lifetime and the upper laser manifold lifetime.
