Efficient laser oscillation of Yb : Y3Al5O12 single crystal grown by temperature gradient technique

Low-threshold and highly efficient continuous-wave laser performance of Yb:Y3Al5O12 (Yb:YAG) single crystal grown by a temperature gradient technique (TGT) was achieved at room temperature. The laser can be operated at 1030 and 1049 nm by varying the transmission of the output coupler. Slope efficiencies of 57% and 68% at 1049 and 1030 nm, respectively, were achieved for 10 at. % Yb:YAG sample in continuous-wave laser-diode pumping. The effect of pump power on the laser emission spectrum of both wavelengths is addressed. The near-diffraction-limited beam quality for different laser cavities was achieved. The excellent laser performance indicates that TGT-grown Yb:YAG crystals have very good optical quality and can be potentially used in high-power solid-state lasers.

气相传输平衡法在（11-20）面蓝宝石上制备γ铝酸锂膜

为了寻找可能替代蓝宝石作为氮化镓外延的新型衬底，通过48h的气相传输平衡，分别在1000℃、1030℃、1050℃、1070℃和1100℃制备了一层单相多晶的γ铝酸锂膜。X射线衍射和扫描电镜分别用于表征膜的物相、取向和表面形貌。结果显示，γ铝酸锂择优取向的好坏取决于气相平衡传输温度，在1050℃制备的γ铝酸锂具有高度的[100]择优取向；在γ铝酸锂（001）面上的双轴拉应力可能有助于[100]择优取向的形成；γ铝酸锂晶粒表面裂纹的方向一致性与其择优取向紧密相关。上述结果表明在合适的工艺条件下，气相传输平衡

Diode-pumped Yb : YAG ceramic laser

Transparent polycrystalline Yb:YAG ceramics were fabricated by solid-state reactive sintering a mixture of commercial Al2O3, Y2O3, and Yb2O3 powders. The powders were mixed in ethanol and doped with 0.5 wt% tetraethoxysilane, dried, and pressed. Pressed samples were sintered at 1730 degrees C in vacuum. Transparent fully dense samples with grain sizes of several micrometers were obtained. The phase from 1500 degrees to 1700 degrees C was important for the grain growth, in which the grains grew quickly and a mass of pores were eliminated from the body of the sample. Annealing was an important step to remove the vacancies of oxygen and transform Yb2+ to Yb3+. The 1 at.% Yb:YAG ceramic sample was pumped by a diode laser to study the laser properties. The maximum output power of 1.02 W was obtained with a slope efficiency of 25% at 1030 nm. The size of the lasering sample was 4 mm x 4 mm x 3 mm.

碱性氧化物对铋掺杂硅酸盐玻璃超宽带红外发光的影响

通过冷却熔融法制备出铋掺杂的硅酸盐玻璃，这些玻璃具有覆盖1000—1600nm波段的超宽带红外发光，荧光的半高宽（FWHM）超过200nm；荧光寿命超过400μs；荧光强度随着玻璃碱性的增加而减弱。荧光峰随碱性氧化物的种类不同而移动。除了红外发光，还观察到了发光峰在640m左右的可见发光。640m的可见发光和红外发光有可能来源于同一种发光离子。认为红外发光源于低价态铋离子。铋掺杂的硅酸盐玻璃由于它们的超宽带特性，有可能成为超宽带光纤放大器的增益介质。

Growth and spectral properties of Er:Gd2SiO5 crystal

Er3+ -doped Gd2SiO5 (Er:GSO) single crystal with dimensions of circle divide 35 x 40 mm(3) has been grown by the Czochralski method. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of the Er:GSO crystal were measured at room temperature. The spectral parameters were calculated based on Judd-Ofelt theory, and the intensity parameters Omega(2), Omega(4) and Omega 6 are obtained to be 6.168 x 10(-20), 1.878 x 10(-20), and 1.255 x 10(-20) cm(2), respectively. The emission cross-section has been calculated by Fuechtbauer-Ladenbury formula. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
