Luminescence and Thermal Properties of Er:GSGG and Yb,Er:GSGG Laser Crystals

Er3+-doped and Yb3+/Er3+ co-doped Gd3Sc2Ga3O12 (abbreviated as Er:GSGG and Yb,Er:GSGG, respectively) laser crystals are investigated by using a combination of spectroscopic measurements and thermal characterizations. An absorption peak of Yb, Er: GSGG crystal shifts to 970 nm and its absorption band broadens obviously, which makes the crystal suitable for pumping by a 970 nm laser diode (LD). This crystal also exhibits a shorter lifetime of a lower laser level, a larger emission cross section and higher thermal conductivity than those of Er: GSGG. All these factors suggest that Yb3+/Er3+ co-doping has a positive effect on improving the spectroscopic and thermal performances in GSGG based laser crystals, and imply that double-doped Yb, Er: GSGG crystal is a potential candidate as an excellent LD pumped 2.79 mu m laser material.

Influence of Gamma-Ray Irradiation on Absorption and Fluorescent Spectra of Nd:YAG and Yb:YAG Laser Crystals

We investigate the influence of gamma-ray irradiation on the absorption and fluorescent spectra of Nd3+:Y3A15O12 (Nd:YAG) and Yb3+:Y3A15O12 (Yb:YAG) crystals grown by the Czochralski method. Two additional absorption (AA) bands induced by gamma-ray irradiation appear at 255nm and 340 nm. The former is contributed due to Fe3+ impurity, the latter is due to Fe2+ ions and F-type colour centres. The intensity of the excitation and emission spectra as well as the fluorescent lifetime of Nd:YAG crystal decrease after the irradiation of 100Mrad gamma-ray In contrast, the same dose irradiation does not impair the fluorescent properties of Yb:YAG crystal. These results indicate that Yb:YAG crystal possesses the advantage over Nd:YAG crystal that has better reliability for applications in harsh radiant environment.

采用提拉法成功生长出高质量的GYSGG(Gd 0.63 Y 2.37 Sc 2 Ga 3 O 12 )晶体, 对其结构及透过光谱进行了研究。GYSGG晶体的晶格常数大于目前常用的GGG 和CaMgZr:GGG,介于YSGG与GSGG之间。可通过改变晶体中Gd与Y的比例, 获得应用中所需不同晶格常数的晶体基片。另外, 晶体三个结晶面的摇摆曲线有对称的形状和较小的半高宽, 表明晶体有较好的结晶完整性。观察分析了晶体三个结晶面的位错腐蚀图。透过光谱分析表明晶体有宽的透光波段, 将计算得到的折射率曲线拟合得到了折射率塞米尔方程系数。因此, GYSGG不仅是一种优良的激光基质晶体, 也是一种宽波段窗口材料和潜在的具有较大晶格常数, 并且晶格常数可调的新型磁泡应用衬底材料。
