摘要
The YAG single crystals doped with 10 at.%, 20 at.% and 50 at.% Er3+ were successfully grown by the micro pulling down method and spectroscopic properties of the crystals were investigated. The main interest was focus on the relation between the Er3+ concentration and similar to 3.5 mu m emission of Er3+:YAG crystals. Room temperature absorption spectra were analyzed by the Judd-Ofelt theory. The stimulated emission cross-sections were calculated by the Fuchtbauer-Ladenburg equation. The fluorescence intensities and peak emission cross-sections of the crystals at similar to 3.5 mu m are slightly decreasing with the increase of Er3+ concentration. The trend of the emission properties in NIR and visible region with the Er3+ concentration was also discussed and compared. The results indicate that the highly doped Er3+ concentration is beneficial to realize the similar to 3.5 mm laser output. (C) 2021 Published by Elsevier B.V.
