title: Tunable and efficient diode-pumped Yb3+:GYSO laser.
abstract: Effective diode-pumped cw tunable laser action of a new alloyed crystal Yb:Gd(2(1-x))Y(2x)SiO(5) (Yb:GYSO, x = 0.5) is demonstrated for the first time. The alloyed crystal retains excellent laser properties of Gd(2)SiO(5) (GSO), as well as the favorable growth properties and the desirable physical of Y(2)SiO(5) (YSO). With a 5-at.% Yb:GYSO sample, we achieved 2.44 W output power at 1081.5 nm and a slope efficiency of 57%. And its laser wavelength could be tuned from 1030nm to 1089 nm.
