Abstract :
The aim of presented study was the investigation of tunability of highly Yb3+-doped LuAG crystals. The laser output mean power was measured in dependence on pumping power amplitude. Using simultaneously measured generated pulse length the output power amplitude was calculated for estimation of CW output. These results confirmed the good quality of newly grown highly doped Yb:LuAG crystals.
