Flashlamp-pumped laser performance of LiCaAIF6:Cr3+

The results of flashlamp pumping of the LiCaAIF₆:Cr³⁺ (Cr:LiCAF) laser crystal are reported. We have so far obtained slope efficiencies as high as 1.55% in a close-coupled, diffusely reflecting cavity. Based on the measured insertion loss of the presently available material, we predict that an efficiency of about 4% will be obtained when low-loss material becomes available. This extrapolated efficiency is comparable with the performance of a high-quality alexandrite laser rod in the same apparatus.     

The temperature dependence of Cr3+:YAG zero-phonon lines

This paper deals with the photoluminescence temperature dependence of the zero-phonon lines of Cr(3+) ions in an yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG) matrix. Experimental data were analysed in the framework of electron-phonon coupling in the quadratic approximation and it was found that Cr(3+) ions in the YAG matrix are strongly coupled with lattice vibrations, with a Debye temperature of about 550 K and a value of the quadratic coupling constant of 0.65. The analysis of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous contributions to the photoluminescence linewidth is performed and the results obtained are compared with previously reported data for Fe(3+):YAG and discussed with respect to the different dependences of the two transition metal ions on the crystal field.

YAG∶Cr3+ 晶体精细光谱结构研究

采用不同的晶体畸变模型，利用CDM(complete diagonalization method)方法对YAG∶Cr3+ 晶体的EPR参量进行了系统研究.通过计算结果对晶格畸变模型进行了分析.结果表明,在三角对称下，对杂质离子电荷与中心离子电荷相等的情况，不适合用杂质离子沿C3轴位移的模型来研究晶体的局域结构，而且由于基态和第一激发态的零场分裂都对局域结构微变非常敏感，因此仅由基态零场分裂来确定晶格局域结构是不可靠的.同时结果表明，Cr3+ 离子进入YAG晶体后，产生了Δθ=1.88°的三角畸变.从而成功统一地解释了YAG∶Cr3+ 晶体的EPR参量和精细光谱结构.     

Investigation of Absorption Spectra of (Cr4+,Yb3+):YAG Crystal

The absorption spectra characters of the (Cr,Yb):YAG,Cr:YAG and Yb:YAG crystals are reported. In the absorption spectra of the (Cr,Yb): YAG crystal,there are two absorption bands at 937 nm and 968 nm respectively,which are suitable for InGaAs diode laser pumping;and there is an absorption band of Cr4+ near 1030 nm,which is suitable for passive Q switch laser output at 1.03 μm. This Cr-Yb-codoped crystal may be a potential material for compact,diode laser pumped passive Q-switched solid-state laser with efficient,high-stable.     

Low-symmetry spin hamiltonian and crystal field tensors analysis: Fe(3+) in natrolite

Electron paramagnetic resonance study of a natural single crystal of natrolite was carried out at the frequency nu=36.772 GHz at room temperature. The angular dependence of the four symmetry-related spectra of Fe(3+) in the three crystallographic planes was fitted to a spin Hamiltonian (S=5/2) of symmetry C(i). The rank 4 crystal field tensors at tetrahedral sites were calculated using the point-charge model to determine the principal axes orientations of their cubic and trigonal components. The analysis of zero-field splitting tensors and comparison with crystal field ones suggests that Fe(3+) substitutes for Al(3+) with no significant distortion of the coordination tetrahedron in natrolite. Comparison of data for several natural and synthetic crystals reveals that the 4-rank zero-field splitting tensor invariants for Fe(3+) at the tetrahedral oxygen-coordinated sites are distinguishably smaller than those for Fe(3+) at octahedral sites. Such comparative analysis may help to determine the substitutional sites in other crystals.

Annealing effect on Cr,Yb:YAG laser crystal

The absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, and lifetimes of as-grown and annealed Cr,Yb:YAG crystal grown by Czochralski technique have been measured. The broad absorption bands in the visible region increase in intensity and shift to long wavelength after annealing, and the additional absorption around 482 nm may be possibly due to new octahedral Cr4+ center in the crystal, and the increase in the infrared (IR) region is due to the increase of Cra+. The increase of Cr4+ also results in the groud state absorption and the concentration quenching of Ybs+ in Cr,Yb:YAG crystal after annealing, the fluorescence intensity is reduced to 75% and the emission lifetime is shortened from 1.40 to 0.44 ms.

ICP与吸收光谱测定LiNbO3, Zn:LiNbO3晶体中Cr3+离子的分布及有效分凝系数

应用坩埚下降法生长了掺杂Cr与双掺杂Cr，Zn的LiNbO3晶体。测定了掺杂晶体不同部位的吸收系数。用电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱(ICP)法测定了Cr离子在LN晶体中的浓度，并计算了Cr离子在LiNbO3晶体中的有效分凝系数。研究结果表明：在单掺杂Cr的LiNbO3晶体中，随着Cr^3 掺杂浓度从0．1增加到0．5mol％时，其有效分凝系数从3．75减少到2．49，Cr^3 离子在晶体中的浓度分布差异逐步减少；ZnO的掺入能有效地减少Cr^3 的分凝系数，然而ZnO掺杂浓度从3增加到6mol％时，其有效分凝系数且从1．85增加到2．25。可从ZnO组分对Cr离子的排斥作用及Zn离子在LN晶体中随掺杂数量变化的分凝现象解释了产生Cr离子浓度及有效分凝系数变化的原因。

Study of the effects of Cr ions on Yb in Cr,Yb:YAG crystal

The absorption and fluorescence spectra of Cr,Yb:YAG crystal were measured. There are two absorption bands at 940 nm and 968 nm although the absorption coefficient is lower than that of the absorption peak of Yb:YAG superimposed in Cr:YAG absorption peak. The emission peak intensity is 4 times lower than that of Yb:YAG, which may be caused by the existence of the ground state absorption of Cr⁴⁺ which quenches the Yb³⁺ emission intensity. Although the emission peak of Cr,Yb:YAG is lower than that of Yb:YAG, there is an advantage of this crystal which combines the saturable absorber and gain medium into one and can be a self-Q switching laser crystal if Cr,Yb:YAG crystal is pumped with high energy power.

Growth and optical properties of Cr~（3＋）-doped CdWO_4 single crystals

A high-quality Cr 3+:CdWO4 single crystal at a size of approximatelyΦ25×80 mm is grown using the Bridgman method with CdO,WO3,and Cr2O3 as raw materials and their molar ratio of 100:100:0.5.The temperature gradient of solid-liquid interface at growth is approximately 50?C/cm and the growth rate is 0.05 mm/h.The X-ray diffraction(XRD),absorption,excitation,and emission spectra of different parts of the as-grown and O2-annealed crystals are investigated.Two strong broad optical absorption bands of about 472 and 708 nm are observed,and they are associated with the transitions 4 A2→ 4 T1 and 4 A2→ 4 T2.The weak 4 T2→ 2 E transition(the R-line)at 632 nm is also observed.The crystal-field parameter Dq and the Racah parameters B and C are estimated to be 1 412.4,776.8,and 3 427.6 cm? 1,respectively,according to the absorption spectra and crystal-splitting theory.A broadband fluorescence at about 1 000 nm due to 4 T2→ 4 A2 transition is produced by exciting the samples at 675 nm.After being annealed in an O2 atmosphere,the crystals become more transparent,while the effective light absorption of Cr 3+ ions is evidently enhanced and the emission intensity is also strengthened due to the reduction of oxygen vacancies in the CdWO4 crystal after annealing.     

Thermal Behavior of the Fluorescence Lines of Ho3+ in Cr,Tm,Ho:YAG

The fluorescence spectra of Cr,Tm,Ho∶YAG crystal have been detected at the temperature from 65 to 295 K with interval of 10 K.The width and the shift of Ho3+ lines at 4959.6 cm-1 (at 65 K) have been investigated and interpreted in terms of the interactions between lattice vibration (phonons) and ions.The results showed that the line broadening with the temperature was mainly due to the Raman scattering of phonons,and the line shift with temperature was mainly due to the emission and absorption of virtual phonons.
