    CW laser operation around 2-μm in (Tm,Yb):KLu(WO4) 2
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2010) Segura, M.; Mateos, X.; Pujol, M.C.; Carvajal, J.J.; Petrov, V.; Aguiló, M.; Díaz, F.
    Laser generation in continuous wave (CW) regime at 1.94-μm from (Tm,Yb) codoped system has been investigated in two different hosts: KLu(WO 4)2 and KY(WO4)2. The high quality crystals were grown by the Top-Seeded Solution Growth Slow Cooling (TSSG-SC) method with doping levels of 2.5 at. %Tm and 5 at. %Yb. The active media were pumped with a diode laser at 980 nm. We demonstrated the superior performance of KLu(WO4)2 compared to that of KY(WO4) 2 and improved the results already obtained in the literature. The maximum laser output power reached was 157 mW for (Tm,Yb):KLu(WO 4)2 and 123 mW for (Tm,Yb):KY(WO4)2. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    Diode-pumped continuous-wave laser operation of co-doped (Ho,Tm):KLu(WO4)2 monoclinic crystal
    (Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2013) Jambunathan, V.; Mateos, X.; Cinta Pujol, M.; Josep Carvajal, J.; Griebner, U.; Petrov, V.; Aguiló, M.; Díaz, F.
    We report on room-temperature continuous-wave laser operation at 2.06 μm in co-doped (0.5 at% Ho, 5.0 at% Tm):KLu(WO4)2 monoclinic crystal pumped at 805 nm by a commercially available AlGaAs diode laser stack. A maximum output power of 93 mW and a slope efficiency of 14.7% with respect to absorbed power were achieved.

    Optical orbital angular momentum conservation during the transfer process from plasmonic vortex lens to light
    (London : Nature Publishing Group, 2013) Yu, H.; Zhang, H.; Wang, Y.; Han, S.; Yang, H.; Xu, X.; Wang, Z.; Petrov, V.; Wang, J.
    We demonstrate the optical orbital angular momentum conservation during the transfer process from subwavelength plasmonic vortex lens (PVLs) to light and the generating process of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs). Illuminating plasmonic vortex lenses with beams carrying optical orbital angular momentum, the SP vortices with orbital angular momentum were generated and inherit the optical angular momentum of light beams and PVLs. The angular momentum of twisting SP electromagnetic field is tunable by the twisted metal/dielectric interfaces of PVLs and angular momentum of illuminating singular light. This work may open the door for several possible applications of SP vortices in subwavelength region.
