Growth, crystal structure and optical study of Tm:LuYSiO5 single crystal

The micro-pulling-down growth of Tm:LuAG and Tm,Pr:LuAG crystals and optical properties

“…Besides, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of absorption band at 782 nm was 11.4 nm and 15.0 nm, respectively. The FWHM is larger than the value of Tm:LYSO (8nm at 791nm [17]), Tm:YAP (3.9 nm at 777 nm [18]) and Tm:KY 3 F 10 (3.8nm at 778 nm [19]). The absorption bands of Tm:LuAG and Tm,Pr:LuAG crystals around 782 nm are wide enough to steadily absorb the incident pump power.…”
