LD端面泵浦Cr4:YAG被动调Q激光器输出特性研究

对激光二极管端面泵浦Cr⁴⁺:YAG被动调QNd:YAG激光器输出特性进行了实验研究.实验研究发现,激光器输出功率及脉冲重复频率随谐振腔长度增大而增大.为解释这一实验现象,测量了泵浦光斑在激光晶体内尺寸,同时计算了激光晶体及Cr⁴⁺:YAG晶体内的基模激光光斑半径随谐振腔长度变化.分析结果表明:激光晶体内泵浦光斑尺寸远小于激光晶体内基模光斑半径,腔模间交叠效率较低;当腔长增加时,激光晶体内的基模激光光斑减小,腔模间交叠效率增加,从而导致输出功率及脉冲重复频率随腔长增加而增加;另外,Cr⁴⁺:YAG晶体内光斑半径也随谐振腔长度减小,引起Cr⁴⁺:YAG晶体漂白时间缩短,导致脉冲重复频率随腔长增加而增加.

Effects of annealing treatment and gamma irradiation on the absorption and fluorescence spectra of Cr:GSGG laser crystal

The influence of annealing treatments and gamma-ray irradiation on the absorption and fluorescence spectra of Cr:GSGG crystals grown by the Czochralski method has been investigated. Two absorption bands located near 686 nm and 1050 nm were weakened markedly after the crystal was re-annealed in H₂ atmosphere, which is due to the Cr⁴⁺ ions being de-oxidized into Cr³⁺ ions. The other two weak additional absorption bands induced by gamma-ray irradiation appearing near 310 nm and 480 nm are ascribed to the Fe²⁺ ions and F-type color centers, respectively. In particular, the gamma-ray irradiation with a dose of 100 Mrad has an effect of improving slightly the luminescence properties of Cr:GSGG crystals. The improvement mechanism is analyzed and discussed.     

Spectroscopy of radiation-induced and structural defects in garnet crystals with V and Cr impurity ions

The optical absorption spectra of crystals with garnet structure (A₃B₂C₃O₁₂), containing V or Cr impurity ions, before and after oxidation annealing, γ irradiation, and coactivation with Ca and Mg ions have been experimentally and theoretically investigated.

The absorption spectra and energy level diagrams of impurity ions are identified.     

Cr<Superscript>3+</Superscript> spectroscopy study in ZnO-codoped and Zn-in-diffused congruent LiNbO<Subscript>3</Subscript>:Cr crystals

This paper reports on the spectroscopy properties, absorption and luminescence, of Cr³⁺ ions in singly doped, ZnO-codoped, and Zn in-diffused LiNbO₃:Cr crystals. In addition to the broad absorption, inter-ionic transitions ascribed to Cr³⁺ ions located in Li⁺ and Nb⁵⁺ sites; [Cr]_Li and [Cr]_Nb centres two absorption bands at higher energy are reported and ascribed to the charge transfer transitions of the Cr³⁺ ions of the two defect centres. The charge transfer transitions are used as optical probe to study the role of the Zn ions in the Zn in-diffused LiNbO₃:Cr samples. It has been observed that the Zn-in-diffused processes created [Cr]_Nb centres in the diffusion zone. The location of the diffused Zn²⁺ ions is considered to be in Li⁺ site, displacing the Cr³⁺ ions from the Li⁺ sites, [Cr]_Li, to the Nb⁵⁺ positions, [Cr]_Nb.     

Spectral kinetic properties and lasing characteristics of diode-pumped Cr<Superscript>2+</Superscript>:ZnSe single crystals

It is shown that the absorption from the excited state of Cr²⁺ ions is negligible near 1.5 μm. Lasing in Cr:ZnSe single crystals is implemented with an efficiency of 31% and an output power of 186 mW using laser diode pumping at a wavelength of 1.77 μm.

Light induced charge transfer processes in Cr doped Bi12GeO20 and Bi12SiO20 single crystals

Optical absorption and ESR spectra of Bi₁₂GeO₂₀ doped with Cr were measured before and after illumination with visible light. It was found that Cr⁴⁺ ions in tetrahedral position are responsible for light induced ESR and optical spectra. The g-factor of the center is 1.945 ± 0.002. Crystal field parameters for the Cr⁴⁺ center are D_q = 820 cm^?1 and B = 429cm^?1. The photochromic effect is explained in terms of a Cr⁵⁺?Cr⁴⁺ charge transfer process.     

Ion channeling study of lattice distortions in chromium-doped SrTiO3 crystals

The results of ion channeling studies of lattice distortions in SrTiO₃: Cr single crystals are presented. Two types of single crystals containing the same amount of Cr impurities but differing in stoichiometry have been investigated. The single crystals grown by the Verneuil method have the compositions of standard-grown SrTiO₃: Cr (0.05 at % Cr), whereas the single crystals grown with a strontium deficiency and a chromium compensating amount have the composition Sr_0.9995TiO₃ (0.05 at % Cr). Analysis of the angular channeling spectra indicates that, in crystals of both types, the main defects are Cr impurities located in octahedral sites. In the SrTiO₃: Cr crystals, impurity atoms manifest themselves as Cr⁴⁺ with tetragonal Jahn-Teller distortions of the surrounding lattice. In the Sr_0.9995TiO₃: Cr crystals grown with a Sr deficiency, the characteristic displacements of Ti ions in the third coordination sphere of the Jahn-Teller center Cr⁴⁺ exhibit the effect of interaction of the center with a neighboring vacancy in the Sr sublattice.     

Optical characterization of Cr3+ centers in LiNbO3

Low-temperature luminescence spectra of stoichiometric Cr:LiNbO₃, congruent Cr:LiNbO₃ and congruent Cr,Mg:LiNbO₃ were studied. Dominant low-field and minor high-crystal-field optical centers are the Cr³⁺ impurity ions that preferentially occupy Li⁺ sites (Cr_Li) in the Cr:LiNbO₃ crystals. Low-field centers related to Cr³⁺ substitution of Nb⁵⁺ (Cr_Nb) occur in addition to Cr_Li in co-doped Cr,Mg:LiNbO₃ samples. Application of high hydrostatic pressure leads to the transformation of dominant Cr³⁺ centers from low- to high-field type due to strong pressure-induced blue shift of the ⁴ T ₂ state, resulting in its crossing with the ² E state of Cr³⁺. This level-crossing effect was observed for the dominant Cr³⁺ _Li and Cr³⁺ _Nb centers at pressures that correlate well with estimations based on the ⁴ T ₂-² Eenergy gap (230 cm^-1 and 1160 cm^-1) and on the rate of their pressure-induced change (14.35 and 11.4 cm^-1/kbar, respectively). We also studied inhomogeneous broadeningof the ² E?⁴ A ₂transitions at ambient pressure for the minor high-field “defect” Cr³⁺ _Li centers in congruent LiNbO₃. A fine structure in the spectral response of these centers was observed. The obtained results are discussed on the basis of a microscopic hierarchic model for perturbed Cr³⁺ ions in the LiNbO₃ lattice. Received: 25 June 2001 / Published online: 2 November 2001     

Crystal growth and optical properties of Cr3+, Er3+, RE3+: Gd3Ga5O12 (RE=Tm,Ho, Eu) for mid-IR laser applications

In this paper we report on the optical properties of triply Cr³⁺, Er³⁺, and RE³⁺ (RE=Tm, Ho, Eu) doped Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂ crystals that were grown by the Czochralski method. Optical absorption, near-infrared (NIR), and mid-infrared (mid-IR) fluorescence spectra were characterized for the fabricated crystals and corresponding luminescence decay measurements under 654 nm excitation were also carried out. Based on the analysis of energy transfer process between Er and RE (RE=Tm, Ho, Eu) ions, the energy transfer efficiency (ETE) values were evaluated, correspondingly. From the spectral data of all the studied crystals, it is observed that the co-doped Cr³⁺ ion highly increases the absorption pump power and the three kinds of co-doped RE³⁺ ions depopulate the Er:⁴I_13/2 energy level effectively. The spectral analysis shows that titled rare earth doped crystals are promising materials for ～3.0 μm mid-IR laser applications and among them Cr,Er,Eu:GGG is relatively more suitable due to its excellent optical properties compared with others.     

Dominant Cr3+ centers in LiNbO3 under hydrostatic pressure

Low-temperature luminescence spectra of stoichiometric Cr: LiNbO₃ and of congruent Cr, Mg: LiNbO₃ were studied. Cr³⁺ impurity ions preferentially occupy Li⁺ sites (Cr_Li) in the LiNbO₃ crystal lattice, while Cr³⁺ ions substituting for Nb⁵⁺ ions (Cr_Nb) occur in addition to Cr_Li centers in codoped Cr, Mg: LiNbO₃ crystals. Application of a high hydrostatic pressure leads to a transformation of (dominant in concentration) Cr³⁺ centers from low-to high-crystal-field centers. Due to a strong pressure-induced blue shift of the ⁴ T ₂ state resulting in crossing with the ² E state, the replacement of the broad band ⁴ T ₂ → ⁴ A ₂ emission by a narrow R-line emission ² E → ⁴ A ₂ occurs in the luminescence spectra of the samples. This effect of level crossing was observed for the dominant Cr _Li ³⁺ and Cr _Nb ³⁺ centers at pressures which correlated well with estimations based on the ⁴ T ₂-² E energy gap (230 and 1160 cm^?1) and on the rate of their pressure-induced change (14.35 and 11.4 cm^?1/kbar, respectively).
