  • Abstract
    We present the investigation of longitudinally pumped microchip Yb-Er lasers based on new crystalline medium GdCa4O(BO3)3. The main potential advantage of these crystals over Er-Yb glasses is the higher thermal conductivity, which may lead to higher thermal damage threshold. The advantage of GdCa4O(BO3)3 (GdCOB) over YCOB is its lower melting point are discussed.
