Abstract

Abstract: We report on continuous-wave lasing at a wavelength of 1030 nm with a maximum power of 80 W and a slope efficiency of 26% in a thin disk element made of domestic ytterbium-doped yttrium–aluminium–garnet ceramics [(Yb0.05 Y0.95 )3 Al5 O12 ]. The studied ceramic sample was fabricated by solid-phase sintering of a mixture of (Yb0.05 Y0.95 )2 O3 and Al2 O3 nanopowders synthesised by laser ablation. The measured laser characteristics in cw and repetitively pulsed regimes are presented.
