摘要：

This paper reports the growth and spectral properties of Er3+-doped and Er3+/Yb3+-codoped Li3Ba2La3(WO4)(8) crystals. The Er3+: Li3Ba2La3(WO4)(8) crystal with dimensions of 56 mmx28 mmx9 mm and Er3+/Yb3+: Li3Ba2La3(WO4)(8) crystal with dimensions of 52 mmx24 mmx8 mm were obtained by the top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method. Thermal expansion coefficients and thermal conductivity of both crystals were measured. The spectroscopic characterizations of both crystals were investigated. The spectroscopic analysis reveals that the Er3+/Yb3+: Li3Ba2La3(WO4)(8) crystal has much better optical properties than the Er3+: Li3Ba2La3(WO4)(8) crystal, thus it may become a potential candidate for solid-state laser gain medium material.
