We investigate the effect of laser-resonator mode size on the output of a Yb:YAG laser that is mode-locked by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). We demonstrate that the smaller the product of the mode sizes at a SESAM and at a Yb:YAG crystal, the more stable the mode-locked output is. Also, we found numerically that there is a resonator length at which the mode-locked output occurs, regardless of the thermal lens effect of a Yb:YAG.

Perdeuterated hexaflouroacetyIacetonato-ytterbium $[Yb(HFA-D)_3]$ complexes were synthesized by the keto-en01 tautomerism reaction of $Yb(HFA-D)_3$ in methanol-$d_4$ in order to reduce the radiationless transition to the ligands. The luminescence properties of $Yb(HFA-D)_3$ complex were measured in the following anhydrous deuterated organic solvents ; Acetone-$d_6$, Methanol -$d_4$, THF-$d_6$, PO$(OHC_3)_3$ and DMSO-$d_6$. The intensity, lifetime and quantum efficiency of the luminescence in DMSO-$d_6$ were superior to those in other deuterated solvents. It was suggested that the anhydrous DMSO-$d_6$ might be the most appropriate solvent for the liquid laser material of $Yb(HFA-D)_3$ complex.

We successfully constructed a passively Q-switched Yb:YAG laser ignitor pumped by a diode laser with low power and long pulse width. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to achieve a quasi-MW output power from an optimized Q-switch Yb:YAG laser ignitor by using a pumping diode laser module emitting at under a power of 23 W. The output pulse energy of our optimized laser is 0.98 mJ enclosed in a 1.06 ns pulse width, corresponding to a peak power of 0.92 MW.

We propose a linearly polarized long-cavity Yb:YAG laser with a variable-reflectivity output coupler and investigate its output characteristics. The variable output coupler consists of a polarized beam splitter and a quarter-wave plate. The linearly polarized laser has a long cavity length of about 3.7 m. The slope efficiency of the proposed laser is 19%, and the beam quality ($M^2$) is about 1.2.

We propose a Yb:YAG laser Q-switched by a semiconductor saturable absorber and a laser output coupler composed of a polarizer and a quarter-wave plate, and we investigate the output characteristics of the proposed Q-switched laser. We show that the laser power can be varied by rotation of the quarter-wave plate.

High-power continuous-wave operation of a Yb-doped double-clad fiber laser at 1018 nm, pumped by high-power diode lasers at 976 nm, is reported. Based on numerical calculation of the gain and laser signal power along the length of the Yb fiber, it is found that robust operation at 1018 nm can be achieved for a high Yb³⁺-ion excitation density greater than 11.5%, accompanied by high suppression of the feedback from the fiber's end facet. The Yb fiber laser constructed in house yields 626 W of continuous-wave output at 1018 nm for 729 W of incident pump power, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 86.6%. The prospect for power scaling is considered.

In this study, effect of laser power on hardness and microstructure of SKD61 Hot Die steel of which surface was melted and hardened with Yb:YAG disk laser was investigated. Beam speed was fixed at 70 mm/sec and distance between them was 0.8 mm about Laser surface melting. The only thing that was changed laser power. Laser powers were 2.0, 2.4 and 2.8 kW. No defect was found under all conditions. As the laser power increased, the penetration depth were deepened and the bead width was also widened. There was no hardness deviation of fusion zone at same laser power and it was higher than that of heat affected zone. In addition, the more laser power increased, the more hardness in fusion zone decreased. Fusion zone was macroscopically dendrite structure. However, core matric in dendrite was lath martensite of 100 nm size. There were $M_{23}C_6$ of 500 nm and the VC and $Mo_2C$ of a nano meters on boundary of dendrite.
