摘要
Congruent Er:LiNbO3 crystals were grown by Czochraski method. The OH- absorption and UV-vis-near infrared absorption spectra indicated that Er3+ cluster sites were formed in LiNbO3 crystal doped with 3 mol% Er3+ ions. Studies on the stokes and anti-stokes spectra showed that the formation of Er3+ cluster sites could increase the rate of cross relaxation processes. Judd-Ofelt theory was carried out to discuss the spectral characteristics of Er3+ ions in Er:LiNbO3 crystals. Based on Fuchtbauer-Ladenburg and McCumber theory, the emission cross section of the I-4(13/2) -> I-4(15/2) transition of Er3+ ion was calculated, and the potential laser performance was evaluated by the gain cross section spectra. Er:LiNbO3 crystal codoped with Zn2+ ions was also grown to discuss the relation between the defect structure and optical characteristics of Er3+ ion. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
