Growth and optical spectroscopy of Ho-doped KPb2Cl5 for infrared solid-state lasers

Novel SnO2/MnO co-doped phosphate glasses with tunable luminescence properties

“…Luminescent glasses doped with active elements are essential for applications in solid state lasers, fiber amplifiers, color displays, optical memory and solar cells [1][2][3][4]. Such applications rely on the luminescence properties of dopants, which, in most cases, are rare earth (RE) ions.…”

Rare-Earth-Doped Low Phonon Energy Halide Crystals for Mid-Infrared Laser Sources

“…The growth conditions of pure or RE 3+ -doped APb 2 X 5 (A=K,Rb ; X=Cl,Br) and Tl 3 PbX 5 (X=Cl,Br) single crystals for MIR laser and/or nonlinear optical applications have been exhaustively detailed in an impressive body of work [Amedzake et al, 2008;Atuchin et al, 2011;Bekenev et al, 2011;Condon et al, 2006b;Ferrier et al, 2006aFerrier et al, , 2006bGang et al, 2008;Isaenko et al, 2001;Nitsch et al, 1993Nitsch et al, , 1995aNitsch et al, , 1995bNitsch et al, , 2004Nitsch & Rodová 1999;Oyebola et al, 2010;Rodová et al, 1995;Roy et al, 2003;Singh et al, 2005;Tigréat et al, 2001;Velázquez et al, 2006aVelázquez et al, , 2006bVelázquez et al, , 2009Voda et al, 2004;Wang et al, 2007]. Special safety conditions for the manipulation of large amounts of TlCl or TlBr powders must be followed, but this does not entail insuperable difficulties [Peter & Viraraghavan, 2005].…”

Rate Equation Analysis of the 2.9μm Holmium-Doped Potassium Lead Bromide (Ho: KPb 2 Br 5 ) Transition for Diode Laser Application.

“…Since the production of the first laser (the Ruby laser) in 196μm. The 0 at Hughes Research Laboratories, the development of laser technology has witnessed more lasers with classifications ranging from the type of gain medium to the mode and wavelength of operation as well as the type of application [2].…”
