摘要：
The present paper reports the growth and spectroscopic properties of KYb(WO4)(2) crystal. The KYb(WO4)(2) crystal with dimensions of 32629612 mm was grown from a mixed flux of K2WO4 and KF by the TSSG method. The spectroscopic properties of KYb(WO4)(2) crystals were investigated. The absorption and emission cross-sections of KYb(WO4)(2) crystal are 4.32 x 10(-20) cm(2) at 981 nm and 3.69 x 10(-20) cm(2) at 1024 nm for E//X polarisation respectively. The laser parameters of KYb(WO4)(2) crystal were evaluated. These results suggest KYb(WO4)(2) crystal as a potential candidate for microchip laser medium.
