摘要
Er3+/Yb3+/Eu3+: SrGdGa3O7 and Er3+/Yb3+/Ho3+: SrGdGa3O7 crystals were grown by Czochralski technology and detailed spectroscopic analyses were carried out. It was found that the spectra of Er3+/Yb3+/Eu3+: SrGdGa3O7 crystal show weaker near-infrared emission and stronger mid-infrared emission as compared with Er3+/Yb3+: SrGdGa3O7 crystal. Furthermore, the lifetime of the I-4(13/2) state decreases from 10.58 ms in Er3+/Yb3+: SrGdGa3O7 crystal to 6.87 ms in Er3+/Yb3+/Eu3+: SrGdGa3O7 crystal, that is, the self saturation for 2.7 urn laser in Er3+/Yb3+/Eu3+: SrGdGa3O7 crystal is suppressed greatly. These results indicate that the doping of Eu3+ in Er3+/Yb3+: SrGdGa3O7 crystal is beneficial to improve the 2.7 mu m laser. In contrast, introducing Ho3+ in Er3+/Yb3+; SrGdGa3O7 crystal is adverse to realize Er3+-activated MIR laser operation. So Er3+/Yb3+/Eu3+: SrGdGa3O7 crystal could be a potential MIR gain media for enhanced 2.7 mu m laser. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
