Abstract

Phosphate glass samples with various Cr₂C₃, Yb₂O₃, and Er₂O₃ contents based upon 67P₂O₅·14Al₂O ₃·14Li₂O·1K₂O·4(Yb ₂O₃ + Er₂O₃) were prepared. The effect of changing concentrations of Er³⁺ ions (0.1-1.5 × 10¹⁹ ions cm^-3) and sensitizers Cr³⁺ ion and Yb³⁺ ion (2-16 × 10¹⁸ ions cm^-3 and 1.35-2.3 × 10²¹ ions cm^-3 respectively) on laser performance were investigated. The thermal shock resistance of this glass was doubled after an ion-exchange chemical strengthening process in a KNO₃/NaNO₃ molten salt bath. Lasers with repetition rates of 20 Hz at free-running and 15 Hz at Q-switched single mode were demonstrated by utilizing chemically strengthened laser glass rods.
