title: Spectroscopic characterization and laser performance of resonantly diode-pumped Er(3+)-doped disordered NaY(WO4)2.
abstract: We report what is believed to be the first resonantly pumped laser operation based on Er(3+)-doped disordered double tungstate single crystal. Efficient laser operation of an Er(3+):NaY(WO(4))(2) laser at ∼1609.6 nm was demonstrated with the naturally wideband, ∼20 nm, InGaAsP/InP laser diode pumping at ∼1501 nm. Laser wavelength tunability of ∼34 nm was also demonstrated based on disorder-broadened emission features of Er(3+):NaY(WO(4))(2) single crystal.
