Abstract

The temperature dependence of the main energy transfer processes involved in the building of population inversion in 3 mu m Erbium lasers, mainly upconversion from I-4(13 2), I-4(11 2), and cross-relaxation from I-4(9 2), is investigated In the temperature domain 20-100 degrees C, which includes the usual working temperatures of solid-state lasers, the change of the quantum efficiency is mainly due to the modifications of the Stark sublevels populations involved in laser transitions. The contribution of the cross-relaxation from I-4(9 2) is estimated using new experimental data for two Erbium-doped crystals: Er3+:YAlO3 and Er3+:YLiF4.
