Spectral characteristics of Nd3+/Yb3+:LuPO4 crystal applied to multi-wavelength emission in 1.0 μm
Exploring new gain media for near-infrared multi-wavelength lasers remains a current research hotspot. In this paper, 0.8 at.% Nd3+ co-doped 0.2 at.% Yb3+:LuPO4 (Nd/Yb:LuPO4) single crystal was prepared for the first time by high-temperature solution method. The corresponding crystal structures, spectroscopic properties and energy transfer mechanism are analyzed in detail. The absorption FWHM near 803 nm were determined to be 9 nm and 10 nm, respectively, indicating that the Nd/Yb:LuPO4 crystal is quite suitable for commercial AlGaAs laser diode pumping. The emission spectral parameters of Nd3+ and Yb3+ ions in the grown crystal were calculated by RM and F-L methods. And the energy transfer process between the 4F3/2 level of Nd3+ and 2F5/2 level of Yb3+ was discussed. The co-doping of Yb3+ and Nd3+ ions successfully achieved the characteristics of multi-wavelength emission, which indicates that Nd/Yb:LuPO4 crystal is a potential candidate for multi-wavelength laser applicable in the 1.0 μm.
