Abstract

(Yb0.05Y0.95-xLax)2O 3 (x=0, 0.05, 0.10) transparent ceramics with low phonon energies of 370-376 cm-1, were fabricated by commercial nanopowders and sintered at low temperature of 1600∼1700°C under H2 atmosphere. The lifetimes of (Yb0.05Y0.95-xLax) 2O3 ceramics are 0.99 ms, 1.12 ms and 1.48 ms with x=0, 0.05 and 0.10, respectively. For (Yb0.05Y0.85La 0.1)2O3 ceramics laser, as low as 400 mW pumping threshold and a slope efficiency of 52% were realized. Broadband lasing spectrum up to 68 nm was observed in the tunable experiment.
