“…A number of papers have been published where spectral-kinetic properties of Ca 3 RE 2 (BO 3 ) 4 (RE = Y, Gd) crystals doped with Nd, Yb, and Er/Yb were studied [3][4][5][6]. The lasing operation under flash lamp and laser (LED and Ti/sapphire laser) pumping was also demonstrated for different regimes [2,4,[7][8][9]. It was shown that the lasers based on these crystals are promising for many scientific tasks and practical uses.…”

Abstract:Crystal growth and thermal properties of binary borates, Ca 3 RE 2 (BO 3 ) 4 (RE = Y, Gd, Nd), are considered promising crystals for laser applications. These single crystals were grown by the Czochralski method. The crystal and defect structure were characterized. Volumetric chemical methods without prior separation of the components were developed and applied for the determination of the dependence of chemical compositions of the crystals on the growth conditions. The thermal conductivity was investigated in the 50-300 K range. The character of the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity was found to be similar to that of glass. The possible reasons of the observed features of the thermal conductivity were analyzed.

“…Previous studies of borates have involved, in particular, the materials described by various formulae such as RE(BO 2 ) 3 , ARE 2 B 10 O 19 , A 3 RE 2 (BO 3 ) 4 , A 3 RE(BO 3 ) 4 , A 4 REO(BO 3 ) 3 , A 3 RE(BO 3 ) 3 , A 3 RE(GaO) 3 (BO 3 ) 4 , and A 3 (BO 3 ) 2 :RE (where A = divalent or trivalent cation), as well as RE-doped borate glasses (see, for example, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]). These materials have been investigated most frequently in reference to their optical properties (see, for example, [7,[20][21][22][23][24][25]).…”

Pure and Nd-doped Ca 3 Y 2 (BO 3 ) 4 and Ca 3 Gd 2 (BO 3 ) 4 orthoborate (space group Pnma) single crystals are considered for applications as materials for optoelectronics, in particular for ultrafast pulse lasers. In the present work, Czochralski-grown single crystals of such materials were studied. All of them were nearly free of defects such as impurity phases or gas bubble inclusions, previously observed and reported in similar orthoborates. Laboratory high-resolution x-ray diffraction together with synchrotron radiation-based white-beam x-ray topography have been employed as experimental techniques. In this paper we perform for the first time a systematic study of extended defects present in those crystals, including the spatial distribution of the defects. The crystal quality of the studied Ca 3 RE 2 (BO 3 ) 4 samples is relatively good-the mean values of double-axis rocking-curve full width at half maximum are low enough low (in the order of 32-131 arcsec) and comparable with literature results obtained for other borate crystals. The chemical composition is generally uniform along the samples. The nature of the extended defects is recognized-they are mainly crystal blocks with low misorientation angles ⩽0.06°), micromosaics, dislocations, and crystallographic plane bending. A detailed analysis of the bend for each crystal is presented. Simple criteria for classifying bulk crystals in terms of bending profile are formulated.

“…The spectroscopic properties of neodymium ions in various crystalline matrices remain the subject of continuous interest of researchers (see, e.g., recent publications [1][2][3][4] and references therein). Special interest is connected with Nd 3+ ions in borate matrices with huntite structure.…”
