Influence of cross-relaxation parameter on the sensitized photon avalanche

Eugen Osiac, Voicu Lupei

The paper discuses the influence of cross-relaxation parameter on the characteristics of the sensitized photon avalanche. A system Pr3+ as activator ion and Yb3+ as sensitizer ion were considered for the avalanche process. By numerical modelling of a system of rate equations, time dependencies and pump rate dependencies of populations of energy levels were calculated for three different values of cross-relaxation rate. Correlation between cross-relaxation rate and threshold value of pump intensity was established.

Photon avalanche upconversion laser at 644 nm

Mark E. Koch, A. W. Kueny, William E. Case

We have obtained efficient laser action from Pr-doped LaCl3 using a novel pumping method. Pump energy is coupled into the crystal through Pr ions in an excited state rather than the ground state. Excited-state absorption is made possible by a regenerative feedback process (the photon avalanche) utilizing cross relaxation to convert the energy of a single ion in a high-lying state into energy shared by multiple lower lying state ions.
