The influence of Yb3+ concentration on Yb:YAl3(BO3)4

The Yb:YAl₃(BO₃) ₄ crystals with different Yb³⁺ doping concentration have been grown by the flux method. The lattice parameters and decomposition of the Yb:YAl₃(BO₃)₄ crystal with different Yb³⁺ doping concentration were measured by X‐ray and DTA method. The transmission and fluorescence spectra of Yb³⁺:YAl₃(BO₃)₄ crystal have been measured. The growth defects of Yb_xY_1‐xAl₃(BO₃)₄ crystals were also detected by using the chemical etching method. The results show that the ytterbium concentration influences these properties of Yb:YAl₃(BO₃)₄. As the Yb³⁺ concentration increased, the crystal lattice parameter was decreased. At high doping level, the absorption peak concerned at about 980 nm shift to short wavelength. It is also found that the perfection of Yb:YAl₃(BO₃) ₄ crystal with low Yb³⁺ doping concentration is better than that with high Yb³⁺ concentration. (© 2003 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
