Summary: A tunable Pr3+:LiYF4 laser was demonstrated to operate at nine different laser wavelengths using a single birefringent filter, with new wavelengths obtained and a total tuning range exceeding 190nm. Additionally, a continuous-wave simultaneous dual-wavelength laser was achieved by adjusting the rotation angle of the filter plate, showing maximum output powers at 698nm and 720nm.

Summary: This study investigated the absorption and fluorescence spectra of Er3+ and Pr3+ co-doped LiYF4 crystals, showing that Pr3+ co-doping effectively enhances the mid-infrared transition of Er3+. Using Judd-Ofelt theory, the stimulated emission cross section was calculated and a diode-end-pumped Er,Pr:YLF laser operating at 2659 nm was successfully realized for the first time. This laser showed promising potential for 2.7 μm laser generation.

Summary: We present a continuously broadband tunable Pr3+:LiYF4 (Pr:YLF) laser in the near-infrared spectra range pumped by InGaN laser diodes (LDs). The upper energy level of the laser utilizes composite energy levels (3P0,1,1I6). The laser achieves a continuous tuning range of 855 nm to 931 nm (width of 77 nm) for pi-polarization and 850 nm to 912 nm (width of 63 nm) for sigma-polarization, with absorbed pumped power of approximately 9 W at 444 nm. The laser also demonstrates the highest tuning power and widest continuous tuning range to date, with the ability to generate thirteen new wavelengths in the Pr:YLF crystal.

Summary: We report the simultaneous continuous-wave red, green, and blue laser operations in praseodymium-doped crystalline materials for the first time. The maximum output power, including three wavelengths (red: 607 nm, green: 523 nm, blue: 479 nm), was 665 mW at an absorbed pump power of 4.7 W (or 10 W of incident pump power), with an optical conversion efficiency of 14.1%.

Summary: In this study, a 2 at.% Pr3+ doped oxide crystal, Pr:NaGd(MoO4)2 crystal, was successfully grown and its structure and spectroscopic properties were characterized. The crystal showed strong absorption at 450 nm and emitted the strongest fluorescence at 652 nm under 450 nm excitation. These results indicate that Pr:NaGd(MoO4)2 crystal has great potential as a material for InGaN-based LD pumped orange-red lasers.

Summary: We report the first InGaN laser diode pumped 915nm single-longitudinal-mode Pr:YLF laser. By inserting F-P etalons with different thicknesses, an all-solid-state 915nm SLM laser with narrow spectral linewidth and high beam quality is achieved. The experimental results are well-matched with the theoretical simulation.

Summary: This study presents the direct generation of optical vortex lattice (OVL) modes from a diode-pumped Pr:YLF laser by utilizing off-axis and defocused pumping geometries, resulting in more than 40 phase singularities. The observed OVL modes are well explained by a theoretical analysis based on the superposition of Hermite-Gaussian modes. The study also discusses the intracavity frequency doubling of the OVL modes and suggests potential applications in fundamental optical science and advanced material engineering.

Summary: A mechanism was proposed to assemble multi-metastable levels into a composite-metastable level, enabling wide tuned emission of several tens of nanometers in Pr3+:YLF crystals. The study achieved, for the first time, a deep-red continuous wave laser with a tunable range exceeding 30 nm (685.1 nm to 715.8 nm) in Pr3+:YLF, using a 24 W InGaN laser diode array at 444 nm. The output power ranged from 0.24 W to 5.01 W, with a maximum power of 5.01 W achieved at 720.9 nm and a slope efficiency of 44%.

Summary: We presented a quasi-continuous Er:YAG planar waveguide laser operating at 2.94 μm based on the major oscillator power amplification configuration. It was found that a higher output peak power could be achieved by adjusting the seed injection peak power under specific pump peak power. Additionally, the numerical simulation results confirmed this observation.
