Gain saturation measurements of ytterbium-doped Sr5(PO4)3 F.
We report on the experimental measurement of the saturated gain of Yb(3+):Sr(5)(PO(4))(3)F at the 1047-nm laser line as a function of pump fluence and probe energy. The emission line was accurately modeled as a single homogeneous extraction, yielding values of 6.2 x 10(-20) cm(2) for the emission cross section and 3.3 J/cm(2) for the saturation fluence.
