Spectroscopic and laser properties of Tm:CNGG crystals grown by the micro-pulling-down method

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

“…The 2.0 at.% Tm 3+ , 0.2 at.% Pr 3+ co-doped LuAG and 2.0 at.% Tm 3+ single doped LuAG single crystals were grown by the μ-PD method [15,16]. The Tm 2 O 3 , Lu 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 and Pr 6 O 11 powders with purity of 99.999% were prepared as raw materials.…”

Up-conversion properties of Yb,Tb:YAG single crystals grown by the micro-pulling-down method

“…It has many advantages over the conventional crystal growth techniques, such as controllable crystal shape and low cost that includes raw materials and time saving. The crystals grown by the μ-PD technique showed good laser performance [23][24][25][26][27].…”
