Fluorescence decay curves of Er³⁺ at 1530 nm and Yb³⁺ at 1040 nm in the crystal were measured. Efficient laser operation of Er:Yb:GdAl₃(BO₃)₄ crystal at 1.5-1.6 mum was realized. Quasi-continuous-wave output powers of 1.8 W with slope efficiency of 19% and 0.78 W with slope efficiency of 14% were achieved in diode-pumped c-cut and c-cut and a-cut crystals, respectively.

Cr3+→Nd3+ energy transfer and Nd3+ laser action studies of La3Ga5SiO14:Cr3+,Nd3+ co-doped crystal

Energy transfer between Cr³⁺ and Nd³⁺ ions has been investigated in the 4.2-300-K temperature range by using steady-state and site-selective time-resolved laser spectroscopy. Radiative and nonradiative energy transfer has been studied from the time-resolved emission spectra and the donor fluorescence decays. The transfer efficiency was calculated as a function of temperature by using the Cr³⁺ lifetimes of the single doped and co-doped samples. Laser experiments were carried out in a diffusive cavity by pumping a co-doped rod 54 mm long and 5 mm in diameter with xenon flashlamps. The laser spectral emission shows a complex structure which varies as a function of pump energy. The temporal evolution of the laser spectrum is discussed in terms of a simple four-level spectral rate-equation laser model which takes into account the existence of two main broad Nd³⁺ site distributions with a large spectral overlap

采用高温固相法合成了一系列Gd₂(MoO₄)₃:D y³⁺, Tm³⁺白色荧光粉。通过XRD衍射、荧光光谱分析对荧光粉的物相结构以及发光性能进 行了研究,且通过色坐标监测样品的发 光颜色。发射光谱显示荧光粉Gd2－x(MoO₄)₃:xDy 3+在387nm激发下,Dy³⁺的²F₉→⁶H15/2跃 迁的蓝光发射及²F₉→⁶H13/2跃迁的黄光发射最强,随着Dy³⁺浓度增加 ,色坐标由白光向黄 光转移。在Gd₂(MoO₄)₃:Dy³⁺,Tm³⁺的发射光谱中,在361nm激发下,可以同时看到Dy³⁺的 黄光发射和Tm³⁺的蓝光发射,即Dy³⁺的²F9/2→⁶H13/2黄光 跃迁和Tm³⁺的¹D₂→³F₄蓝光跃 迁,因此,通过调节Dy³⁺,Tm³⁺的浓度可以使样品发出白光。当Dy³⁺浓 度为12%,Tm³⁺ 浓度为7～14%时,样品皆在白光区。当Dy³⁺,Tm³⁺浓度均为12%时,样品的色 坐标为(0.338,0.329 )最接近标准白光(0.33)。同时,在 Dy³⁺与Tm³⁺共掺的体系中,可以看到Tm³⁺向Dy³⁺的能量传递。

Emission cross sections and spectroscopy of Ho3+ laserchannels in KGd(WO4)2 single crystal

The spectroscopic properties of Ho³⁺ laser channels in KGd(WO₄)₂ crystals have been investigated using optical absorption, photoluminescence, and lifetime measurements. The radiative lifetimes of Ho³⁺ have been calculated through a Judd-Ofelt (JO) formalism using 300-K optical absorption results. The JO parameters obtained were Ω₂=15.35×10^-20 cm², Ω ₄=3.79×10^-20 cm², Ω₆ =1.69×10^-20 cm². The 7-300-K lifetimes obtained in diluted (8·10¹⁸ cm^-3) KGW:0.1% Ho samples are: τ(⁵F₃)≈0.9 μs, τ( ⁵S₂)=19-3.6 μs, and τ(⁵F₅ )≈1.1 μs. For Ho concentrations below 1.5×10²⁰ cm^-3, multiphonon emission is the main source of non radiative losses, and the temperature independent multiphonon probability in KGW is found to follow the energy gap law τ_ph ^-1(0)=βexp(-αΔE), where β=1.4×10^-7 s^-1, and α=1.4×10³ cm. Above this holmium concentration, energy transfer between Ho impurities also contributes to the losses. The spectral distributions of the Ho³⁺ emission cross section σ_EM for several laser channels are calculated in σ- and π-polarized configurations. The peak a σ_EM values achieved for transitions to the ⁵I₈ level are ≈2×10^-20 cm² in the σ-polarized configuration, and three main lasing peaks at 2.02, 2.05, and 2.07 μm are envisaged inside the ⁵I₇→⁵I₈ channel     

Eu2+掺杂Sr5(PO4)2SiO4磷灰石荧光粉的发光性能研究

采用高温固相法制备了Sr5－x (PO₄)₂SiO₄:xEu²⁺(x =0.010,0.015,0.020,0.025,0.050, 0.100)荧光粉,研究掺杂 浓度和测试温度对荧光粉发光性能的影响。随着Eu²⁺掺杂浓度的增加,发射强度呈现 先增大后减小的变化 趋势,并在x=0.015时达到最大值。Eu 2+掺杂浓度较低时(x≤0.025),Eu²⁺取代不同格位的 Sr²⁺,使得发射 光谱具有双发射峰;当x＞0.025时,由于 存在Eu 1到Eu 2的能量传递使发射光谱中Eu 1的峰位消失,只存 在Eu 2的峰位。发射光谱随Eu²⁺浓度增大出现了红移现象,这是由于半径较小的Eu 2+(0.109nm)取代较 大的Sr²⁺(0.113nm)使得晶胞收缩,晶场强度增大,从而导 致Eu²⁺的5d能级劈裂程度增大,电子跃迁释 放能量降低。此外,测试温度增加时,发射光谱出现与Varshini方程不相符的蓝移现象,这 是晶格结构稳定性和声子辅助隧穿效应共同作用使较小波长的Eu 1的发射居于主导地位的结 果。

Doubly Passively Self-Q-Switched Cr4+:Nd3+:YAG Laser With a GaAs Output Coupler in a Short Cavity

By using a GaAs as both an output coupler and a saturable absorber, we present a doubly passively self-Q-switched Cr⁴⁺:Nd³⁺:YAG laser in a short cavity for the first time to our knowledge. This laser can generate more symmetric pulse shape and shorter pulsewidth in comparison with the solely self-Q-switched Cr⁴⁺:Nd³⁺:YAG laser. The output pulse energy and peak powers are higher than those in our previous doubly passively Q-switched lasers. By considering the Gaussian spatial distribution of the intra-cavity photon density and the free carrier absorption (FCA) in GaAs wafer, a set of modified rate equations have been introduced to describe the performances of the doubly Q-switched Cr ⁴⁺:Nd³⁺:YAG laser with GaAs coupler. The numerical solutions of the equations and the experimental results are found to agree with each other very well. The effect of FCA process in GaAs wafer has been discussed and proved to play an important role in the pulse compression and symmetry
