提拉法Tm：YAG晶体的生长缺陷研究

采用提拉法(CZ)生长了质量优异的Tm：YAG晶体．部分晶片在1000℃的空气气氛中退火25h．借助光学显微镜、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)，结合化学腐蚀法，对Tm：YAG晶体退火前后(111)面的缺陷特征进行了研究．Tm：YAG晶体(111)面的位错腐蚀坑呈三角形．在偏光显微镜下观察了退火前后Tm：YAG晶体(111)面的应力双折射．同时应用高分辨X射线衍射法测定了晶体的完整性．实验结果表明，长时间空气气氛下高温退火有效降低了晶体中总的位错密度，提高了晶体质量．

Infrared to visible upconversion fluorescence in Yb,Tm : YAG single crystal

Absorption spectrum from 400 to 2000 run and upconversion fluorescence spectra under 940 nm pumping of YAG single crystal codoped with 5 at.% Yb3+ and 4 at.% Tm3+ were studied at room temperature. The blue upconversion emission centered at 483 nm corresponds to the transition (1)G(4) -> H-3(6), the emission band around 646 nm corresponds to the transition (1)G(4) -> F-3(4) of Tm3+. Energy transfer from Yb3+ to Tm3+ is mainly nonradiative and the transfer efficiency was experimentally assessed. The line strengths, transition probabilities and radiative lifetimes of (1)G(4) level were calculated by using Judd-Ofelt theory. Gain coefficient calculated from spectra shows that the upconversion corresponding with transitions (1)G(4) -> H-3(6) in YAG doped with Yb3+ and Tm3+ is potentially useful for blue light Output.

Growth and spectral properties of Yb,Tm:YAG crystal

The YAG crystal codoped with Yb3+ and Tm3+ has been grown by Czochralski (Cz) method. The crystal structure of the crystal has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The absorption and emission spectra of Yb,Tm:YAG crystal at room temperature have also been studied. The emission cross-sections have been calculated by Fuechtbauer-Ladenburg formula and reciprocity method. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
