title: First laser emission of Yb0.15:(Lu0.5Y0.5)3Al5O12ceramics.
abstract: We report the first laser oscillation on Yb0.15:(Lu0.5Y0.5)3Al12ceramics at room temperature. At 1030 nm we measured a maximum output power of 7.3 W with a corresponding slope efficiency of 55.4% by using an output coupler with a transmission of T = 39.2%. The spectroscopic properties are compared with those of the two parent garnets Yb:YAG and Yb:LuAG. To the best of our knowledge these are the first measurements reported in literature achieved with this new host.
