Abstract
A study is carried out experimentally on the anisotropy in the laser action of Yb:Ca3La2(BO3)4 disordered crystal, demonstrated with the output coupling changed over a wide range from 0.5% to 40%. Complex polarization state variation with output coupling and evolution with pump power are observed in the laser operation achieved with a- and c-cut crystal samples. A maximum output power of 8.2Â W is produced at wavelengths around 1043Â nm, with an incident pump power of 24.9Â W, the optical-to-optical efficiency being 33%. The polarized absorption and emission cross section spectra are also presented.
