Absorption, luminescence, and stimulated emission investigations in Lu3Al5O12-Er3+ Crystals

Abstract: Laser action excitation conditions are found for new transitions of Er3+ ions in Lu3Al5O12 crystals at 300 K. With the use of the desactivation method, the way of laser parameter improvement is shown for Er3+ ions at the generation on the “self‐saturating” 4I11/2 → 4I13/2 transition (2.69 to 2.94 μm). The crystal field splitting schemes are given of the manifolds involved in the stimulated emission processes together with the identification of all registered laser transitions.

“…Also recently, Ho 3+ : Sr 5 (PO 4 ) 3 F (SFAP) crystal has been investigated as a potential saturable absorber for Q-switching of IR lasers [4]. Among various holmium activated matrix, yttrium aluminum garnet Y 3 Al 5 O 12 (YAG) and yttrium aluminum perovskite, YAlO 3 (YAP), otherwise known as yttrium orthoaluminate, doped by trivalent holmium (Ho 3+ ), are commonly employed as 2 and 3 mm laser materials [5][6][7]. The rapid growth of applications requiring visible lasers, such as full-color displays, optical data storage and biomedical instruments, have stimulated the development of lasers in the visible spectral range.…”

“…Hence, Ho 3+ -doped glasses are gaining popularity as they have many capabilities such as 2 μm emission, visible wavelength upconversion, and emission in the 800 nm band. Ho 3+ ions can produce laser emission in 2.0 and 2.9 μm ranges arising from the transitions, 5 I 7 → 5 I 8 and 5 I 6 → 5 I 8 , respectively [6][7][8]. Ho 3+ ion has several low-lying metastable levels, which can give rise to transitions at various wavelengths from infrared to ultraviolet regions.…”

“…Hence these RE-doped materials are expected to be applied in new efficient solid state lasers, for phosphors emitting in the visible spectral range, solid-state displays, detectors for the infrared spectral range or in possible other optic-electronic devices. It is well known that Ho 3+ ions can produce laser emission in the 2 and 2.9 m ranges [1][2][3][4] arising from transitions 5 I 7 → 5 I 8 and 5 I 6 → 5 I 8 , respectively. Ho 3+ ion has also several lying metastable levels, which can give rise to transitions at various wavelengths from infrared (IR) to ultraviolet (UV) region.…”
