Spectroscopic properties of Sm3+: LuPO4/LuYPO4 crystals: potential orange-red laser gain media capable of efficiently excited by blue laser diode
Sm:LuPO4 and Sm:LuYPO4 crystals were grown via the high-temperature solution method. The grown crystals possess tetragonal phases, and the maximum phonon energies were determined to be located at 990-1044 cm−1. Polarized absorption and fluorescence spectra, fluorescence lifetimes were measured. Sm:LuYPO4 crystal exhibits strong absorption peak at 405 nm with calculated polarized absorption cross-sections of (6.12 ± 0.014) × 10−20 cm2 (π-polarization) and (5.09 ± 0.012) × 10−20 cm2 (σ-polarization), significantly higher than the Sm:LuPO4 crystal ((2.64 ± 0.004) × 10−20 cm2 for π-polarization and (1.40 ± 0.003) × 10−20 cm2 for σ-polarization). Utilizing Judd-Ofelt (J-O) theory, key parameters including the J-O intensities (Ω2, Ω4, Ω6), fluorescence branching ratios, and quantum efficiency were derived. Facilitated by phonon assistance, the largest emission cross-section at 601 nm was calculated to be 4.12 × 10−21 cm2 for the Sm:LuYPO4 crystals in the σ-polarization direction. These results suggest that Sm:LuPO4 and Sm:LuYPO4 crystals are promising red-orange laser gain mediums for blue 405 nm laser diode pumping.
期刊介绍:
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
