Abstract
The energy storage in the Cr4+,Yb:YAG crystal amplifier was stimulated under the conditions of concentration thickness product 15at.%mm and pumping power density 20kW/cm2 for different aperture and doped Cr4+ and Yb3+density, using the pumping dynamic model for Cr4+,Yb:YAG crystal amplifier. The results indicated that, the density of energy storage decreases with the increasing of Yb3+ and amplifier aperture in absence of Cr4+; but the co-doped Cr4+ in Yb:YAG crystal would suppress the ASE in amplifier and affect on the energy storage in the amplifier, the ASE decreases with the increasing of co-doped Cr4+. But the maximum energy storage in amplifier increases firstly, and then decreases with the increasing of Cr4+ density. The reason is that, the Cr4+ in amplifier absorb not only the ASE but also the pumping energy. When less co-doped Cr4+, the ASE in amplifier would be serious, but when more co-doped Cr4+, the co-doped Cr4+ would absorb more pumping energy. Namely, in order to obtain maximum energy storage there is an optimized Cr4+ density, which was determined by the Yb3+ density and aperture of amplifier.
