Abstract

We demonstrate the crystal structure, spectroscopy and laser performance of a novel Er:SGGG crystal grown successfully by Czochralski (Cz) method. The lattice constant is refined to be 12.42 Å and the FWHM of the crystal’s X-ray rocking curve is only 86.4″, indicating an excellent quality. The segregation coefficient of Er³⁺ ions in SGGG is determined to be 1.2. The Er:SGGG crystal displays a specialty in broadening spectrum. There is a wide absorption band near 962 nm, with an absorption bandwidth of 19 nm and a peak absorption coefficient of 5.57 cm⁻¹. Under the conditions of 969 nm laser diode (LD) pumping, with a 400 Hz repetition rate and 300 μs pulse duration, a maximum power 404 mW with slope efficiency of 15.6 % at 2.8 μm is achieved on the Er:SGGG crystal. The M² factors of horizontal and vertical are 1.4 and 1.5, respectively. The results indicate the mid-infrared laser output can be generated in the Er:SGGG crystal, and it is a potential and promising candidate for 2.8 μm laser material.

新型 Er:SGGG 晶体的结构、光谱和 2.8 μm 波长的激光操作

我们展示了用 Czochralski（Cz）方法成功生长的新型 Er:SGGG 晶体的晶体结构、光谱和激光性能。晶体的晶格常数被细化为 12.42 Å，X 射线摇摆曲线的 FWHM 仅为 86.4″，表明晶体质量极佳。经测定，SGGG 中 Er3+ 离子的偏析系数为 1.2。Er:SGGG 晶体在拓宽光谱方面具有特殊性。在 962 nm 附近有一个很宽的吸收带，吸收带宽为 19 nm，峰值吸收系数为 5.57 cm-1。在 969 nm 激光二极管（LD）泵浦、400 Hz 重复频率和 300 μs 脉冲持续时间条件下，Er:SGG 晶体在 2.8 μm 波长处的最大功率为 404 mW，斜率效率为 15.6%。水平和垂直的 M2 因子分别为 1.4 和 1.5。结果表明，Er:SGGG 晶体可以产生中红外激光输出，是一种有潜力、有前途的 2.8 μm 激光材料。
