Yb3+,Er3+:YAG at high temperatures : energy transfer and spectroscopic properties

• Energy transfer and spectroscopic properties at high temperatures have been investigated in Er,Yb:YAG crystals. It is shown that at elevated temperatures around 600-800 degrees C these characteristics become similar to those in the efficient 1.5 mu m laser medium - Er,Yb-doped phosphate glasses.
