摘要
A 25%Eu : KGd(WO4)(2) crystal is grown by a modified Czochralski method and its spectral and lasing properties are studied. Generation of stimulated emission in this crystal on the D-5(0) -> F-7(4) transition of the Eu3+ ion is obtained, as far as we know, for the first time. The laser operates at room temperature at a wavelength of similar to 703 nm under pumping into the F-7(0) -> D-5(1) absorption band of the europium ion by the second harmonic of a Q-switched Nd:KGW laser (lambda(pump) = 533.6 nm). With a 9.4-mm-long active element, the output energy in the free-running regime reached 244 mu J, while the optical efficiency was 1.5 %.
