Effect of temperature on luminescence and VUV to visible conversion in the YAl3(BO3)4:Dy (YAB:Dy) crystal

Spectroscopic properties of the Dy³⁺-doped YAl₃(BO₃)₄ crystal were studied from the vacuum-ultraviolet to near-infrared spectral range. Optical results were interpreted in terms of the 4fⁿ, 4fⁿ⁻¹5d and charge transfer transitions. It was found that the VUV electronic excitation is transferred to the optically active ions giving emission from the ⁴F_9/2 fluorescent level of Dy³⁺. The temperature variation of the Dy³⁺ fluorescence kinetics was observed; the ⁴F_9/2 lifetime increased with increasing temperature. This phenomenon is not usually observed in other rare-earth-doped media. The discussion of dysprosium emission properties and their temperature dependency was based on the assumption that the rates of transitions originating in individual crystal field levels of the ⁴F_9/2 emitting multiplet are significantly different.     

Growth and laser properties of Nd:Ca4YO(BO3)3 crystal

Nd:Ca₄YO(BO₃)₃ (Nd:YCOB) crystal was grown by the Czochralski method, and its structure was measured by using a four circle X-ray diffractometer. The transparent spectrum from 200 to 2600 nm was measured at room temperature. The fluorescence spectrum near 1.06 μm showed that the main emission wavelength of Nd:YCOB crystal was centered at 1060.8 nm. Laser output at 1.06 μm has been demonstrated when it was pumped by a Ti:sapphire laser at the wavelength of 794 nm, the highest output power was 68 mW under pumping power of 311 mW, the pumping threshold was 163 mW and slope efficiency was 46.9%. The self-frequency doubled green light has been observed when it was pumped by a Ti:sapphire or a laser diode (LD). A 14.5 mm Nd:YCOB crystal sample cut at (θ, φ)=(90°, 33°) was used for type I second-frequency generation (SHG) of the 1.06 μm laser pulse. The SHG conversion efficiency was 22%.

Luminescence and OSL study of the inorganic compounds Tl-doped (NH4)2BeF4 and (NH4)2SiF6

The search of materials with efficient optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) properties and a high hydrogen content for fast neutron dosimetry has led to the development of Tl⁺-doped ammonium salts (NH₄)₂SiF₆ and (NH₄)₂BeF₄. Preliminary OSL studies have shown that the OSL in (NH₄)₂SiF₆:Tl⁺ and (NH₄)₂BeF₄:Tl⁺is efficient. In order to optimise the OSL emission and its detection, the identification of the luminescent centres in the OSL process is necessary. This study focuses on the identification of the luminescent centres associated with Tl⁺ based on optical studies in the vacuum UV (VUV) at different temperatures.
