摘要
The 2.0 mu m spectral characteristics of the 980 nm LD pumped Er3+/Ho3+/Yb3+ tri-doped Na5Y9F32 single crystals grown by an improved Bridgman method were investigated with the help of their absorption spectra, emission spectra and decay curves. The introduction of Yb3+ and Er3+ greatly improves the 2.0 fluorescence intensity through joint energy transfer processes from Yb3+ to Er3+, and Er3+ to Ho3+. The doping concentrations of 0.5 mol% Er3+ and 1.0 mol% Yb3+ ions were optimized to obtain the maximum 2.0 mu m fluorescence intensities for the fixed 0.8 mol% Ho3+/1 mol% Yb3+ and 0.8 mol% Ho3+/0.5 mol% Er3+ doped Na5Y9F32 single crystals. Besides, according to the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the crystals, the absorption and emission crosssections were calculated, and excellent gain performance was also obtained. Meanwhile, the maximum 2.0 mu m emission lifetime of Er3+/Ho3+/Yb3+ tri-doped Na5Y9F32 single crystal can reach similar to 21.82 ms. The energy transfer mechanisms among the three rare-earth ions were further investigated by calculating energy transfer microparameters (CDA) and efficiencies. The excellent properties in both intense emission at 2.0 mu m and chemical stability obtained in the Er3+/Ho3+/Yb3+ tri-doped Na5Y9F32 single crystals make them promising candidate material for 2.0 mu m laser.
