Abstract
A computer simulation of the dynamics of the Er3+
3 um cw crystal laser considering the full rate-equation
scheme up to the 4F7/2 level has been performed. The
influence of the important system parameters on lasing
and the interaction of these parameters has been
clarified with multiple-parameter variations.
Stimulated emission is fed mainly by upconversion
from the lower laser level and in many
cases is reduced by the quenching of the lifetime of
this level. However, also without upconversion a set of
parameters can be found that allows lasing.
For a typical experimental situation we started
with the parameters of Er3+:LiYF4. In addition also the
host materials YAG, YAlO3, YSGG, and BaY2F8 as
well as the possibilities of codoping are discussed.
