Abstract

A novel trigonal ordered langasite-type silicate crystal, Yb3+: Ca3NbGa3Si2O14 (Yb: CNGS), is characterized with respect to absorption and stimulated-emission crosssections as well as Raman spectra using polarized light. Thanks to its excellent thermomechanical properties, highly-efficient multi-watt lasing is demonstrated. A compact a-cut 5 at.% Yb: CNGS crystal diode-pumped at 978 nm generated a maximum output power of 7.27 W at 1062-1068 nm with a slope efficiency of 78%. These values represent record parameters for similar to 1 mu m lasers based on langasite-type crystals. The very broad and smooth gain cross sections of Yb: CNGS are attractive for ultrashort pulse and broadly tunable lasers at similar to 1 mu m. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America

Quality index

Bibliometric impact. Analysis of the contribution and dissemination channel

The work has been published in the journal Optical Materials Express due to its progression and the good impact it has achieved in recent years, according to the agency Scopus (SJR), it has become a reference in its field. In the year of publication of the work, 2017, it was in position , thus managing to position itself as a Q1 (Primer Cuartil), in the category Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials. Notably, the journal is positioned above the 90th percentile.

From a relative perspective, and based on the normalized impact indicator calculated from the Field Citation Ratio (FCR) of the Dimensions source, it yields a value of: 3.35, which indicates that, compared to works in the same discipline and in the same year of publication, it ranks as a work cited above average. (source consulted: Dimensions May 2025)

Specifically, and according to different indexing agencies, this work has accumulated citations as of 2025-05-02, the following number of citations:

  • WoS: 18
  • Scopus: 16
  • Google Scholar: 16

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-05-02:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 4.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 4 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 0.75.
  • The number of mentions on the social network Facebook: 1 (Altmetric).
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11797/imarina9242070
