  • Abstract
    In this paper cw laser oscillation is reported in the YbAG as the active material, and in the stoichiometric Yb-doped materials by pumping shorter wavelength than 1.0 alpham without direct pumping to the upper laser level. The YbAG has several advantages over the KYbW. The results also indicate a possibility of cw and high power laser oscillation by laser diode pumping of the stoichiometric YbAG by laser diode pumping.
