How the ytterbium concentration affects the population inversion of erbium in phosphate laser glasses

Not Accessible

Abstract

The population of the metastable level of erbium in ytterbium-erbium phosphate glasses has been measured as a function of the concentration of ytterbium ions and the power of the laser pumping. The ytterbium concentration was varied from 0 to a limiting value of 52.4×10<sup>20</sup>cm<sup>−3</sup>. It is established that increasing the concentration of ytterbium ions causes the population inversion of erbium to increase.
