摘要
用提拉法生长了Cr,Yb∶YAG晶体,研究了在室温的吸收光谱特性以及氧化性气氛退火对其吸收特性的影响。在室温吸收光谱中存在着五大吸收带:在440nm和605nm存在着Cr3+离子的两个吸收带,而且退火使其发生了明显的“红移”;在937nm和968nm处存在Yb3+离子的两个吸收带,能与InGaAs激光二极管(LD)有效耦合,适合激光二极管泵浦;而且在1.03μm处有一Cr4+离子的吸收峰,可用作可饱和吸收体,从而可以实现对Yb3+的自调Q激光输出。在氧化性气氛下退火对晶体吸收特性及缺陷的影响是:退火使晶体的缺陷明显减少而且使Cr4+浓度得到进一步的增加;Cr4+离子浓度的增加主要是由于二价阳离子Ca2+进入相应的Y3+晶格所造成。并且从晶格场的角度讨论了退火使Cr3+离子的吸收带发生“红移”
The Cr,Yb∶YAG single crystals were grown
by Czochralski technique.Absorption spectrum properties of Cr,Yb∶YAG crystal and the effect
of annealing on the absorption spectrum were studied;the defects of the crystal such as cores
and stress striations were studied as well.In the absorption spectra at room temperature,there
are five absorption bands:two absorption bands at 440 nm and 605 nm of Cr 3+ in the visible
region which shift to long wavelength after annealing,two absorption bands at 937 nm and
968nm of Yb 3+ respectively,which are suitable for InGaAs diode laser pumping,and an
absorption band at 1030 nm of Cr 4+ ,which is suitable for passive Q switch laser output at
1030 nm using as a saturable absorber.The effect of annealing on the absorption properties and
the defects is discussed further.The defects of the crystal are decreased and the concentration
of the Cr 4+ is increased after annealing.The increment of the concentration of the Cr 4+ is
due to compensatory Ca 2+ substituting into the sites of Y 3+ .The cause of the “red
shift”of the absorption bands of Cr 3+ is discussed in the point of crystal field.
