Abstract

Tunable laser operation in rb:YCOB from 1018 to 1087 nm pumped by 1.4 W from a Ti:Sapphire laser tuned to 900 nm is demonstrated. The combination of the ability to grow large crystals with high optical quality, broad infrared emission, diode pumpable absorption bands, and a significant non-linear coefficient makes this material very promising for use in tunable and ultrafast laser systems.
