摘要
Spectroscopic properties of Nd:CaF2 crystals are investigated. The photoluminescence intensity in the near infrared region is drastically enhanced by co-doping Gd3+ ions and Y3+ in Nd:CaF2 crystals. Preliminary laser experiments are carried out with 0.3% Nd, 5% Gd:CaF2 and 0.3% Nd, 5% Y:CaF2 crystals under laser diode pumping; true continuous wave laser operation is achieved with slope efficiencies of 42% and 39%, respectively, and the maximum output power reaches 1.188 W.
