Abstract

In search for intrinsic optical bistability in solid-state optical materials, we studied cooperative absorption and emission in Yb3AI5O12, Yb2O3, Yb:Y2O3, Yb:Lu2O3, and Yb:Sc2O3 laser related crystals. The bistability in cooperative luminescence in Yb(6%):ScO3 has been observed.

Analysis of Intrinsic Optical Bistability in Tm3+ Doped Crystals

The phenomenon of intrinsic optical bistability (IOB)1 is of great interest because of its potential applications in optical switches, telecommunication, etc. In this work, we theoretically study IOB in Tm doped laser crystals co-doped with Ho and Yb.

Intrinsic Bistability of Luminescence and Stimulated Emission in Yb- and Tm-Doped Glass

Intrinsic bistability and hysteresis have been observed in the photoluminescence of bulk glass doped with Yb3+ and Tm3+ impurities at room temperature. Multiple instabilities also occur in channel waveguide lasers in this material. Consequently, local field effects exhibit more degrees of freedom than expected and have important implications for compact optical amplifiers and oscillators.

Analysis of intrinsic optical bistability in Tm-doped laser-related crystals

Mikhail A. Noginov, Martina Vondrova, Daniel Casimir

We predict and theoretically study intrinsic optical bistability (IOB) mediated by nonlinear energy transfer processes in rare-earth-doped laser-related crystals. In particular, we investigate Tm-Ho and Tm-Yb systems, in which avalanche pumping is overimposed by energy transfer up-conversion. We predict that IOB can be experimentally observed in $(\mathrm{T}\mathrm{m},\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{b}):{\mathrm{BaY}}_{2}{\mathrm{F}}_{8}$ crystals in a wide range of experimentally achievable parameters.
