Abstract
A comparative study between 808 and pumping of crystals for laser operation at has been carried out. Using similar setups, performances of both configurations were first studied in the continuous wave, small-signal gain, and Q-switched regimes. Thanks to a numerical model, it is shown that fluorescence quenching and upconversion processes limit the possible uses for the pumping scheme to regimes with low population inversions.
