摘要：

High slope efficiency and low threshold laser performance have been achieved for both long pulsed and cw operation at 1.065 μm in Nd 3+-doped strontium fluorovanadate crystal, Nd3+:Sr 5(VO4)3F, when pumped by narrow band pulsed Cr:LiSAF and cw Ti:sapphire lasers. However, there are inequivalent Nd 3+ sites in the crystal. The absorption of Nd3+ ions in secondary sites, sites other than the site which contributes to lasing, may reduce the pumping efficiency and, consequently, the lasing efficiency. Strong concentration quenching of the Nd3+ 4F3/2 state was also observed reducing the quantum efficiency of the laser transition from this state. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
