Growth, optical characterization, and laser operation of epitaxial Yb:KY(WO4)2∕KY(WO4)2 composites with monoclinic structure

Epitaxial monoclinic double tungstate laser crystals were grown with high crystalline quality. Based on these Yb-doped composites, laser operation was demonstrated. Continuous-wave laser emission of a Yb:KYW∕KYW crystal was achieved at 1030nm. The 25‐μm-thin Yb:KYW layer was pumped at wavelengths near 980nm by a Ti:sapphire laser. A maximum output power of 40mW was obtained at room temperature.
