Problems solved by technology

[0003] The main problem of laser crystals directly producing high-efficiency mid-infrared laser output is: because the mid-infrared laser frequency is very low, it is equivalent to the lattice vibration frequency of many famous laser crystals, that is, the phonon vibration frequency, which leads to rapid non-radiative relaxation and laser emission. The strong competition of , thus, leads to high passive loss of the laser
At present, there is no LiLuF at home and abroad 4 : Dy 3+ and LiLuF 4 : Dy 3+ :yb 3+ Reported as a mid-infrared laser crystal

Embodiment 1

[0015] Example 1: LiLuF 4 :Dy 3+ Crystal growth preparation

[0016] First, the raw materials LiF and LuF 3 Processing: Put an appropriate amount of analytically pure LiF and LuF respectively 3 The raw materials are put into a self-made sintering furnace, and high-purity argon and CF are introduced 4 Let it flow slowly, heat it to 800°C, then lower the temperature, and store the raw materials for later use.

[0017] Grow high-quality LiLuF by lifting method 4 Crystal. Press 50mol% LiF and 50mol% LuF 3 Accurately weigh 200g, grind and mix evenly, press tablets, and put the raw materials into an iridium crucible of Ф55mm×30mm. The instrument used for crystal pulling method growth is an intermediate frequency pulling furnace of DJL-400, and the intermediate frequency power supply model is KGPF25-0.3-2.5. The temperature is controlled by Pt / Pt-Rh thermocouple and Eurometer model 815EPC. First extract the gas in the furnace so that the pressure in the furnace reaches 10-3Pa, and then p...

Abstract

In this invention, LiLuF4 is used as laser raw host material, Dy3+ is used as active ions, to produce LiLuF4: Dy3+ laser crystal. And also LiLuF4 is used as laser raw hast material, Dy3+ as active ions, Yb3+ as used as sensitizing ions to produce the invented product LiLuF4: Dy3+: Yb3+ laser crystal. Said crystals are used for realization of tunable output of middle infrared laser at 3.0-5.0 micron wave band.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the field of laser crystal materials, in particular to a type of mid-infrared laser crystal LiLuF 4 :Dy 3+ And LiLuF 4 :Dy 3+ :Yb 3+ . Background technique: [0002] The 3.0μm-5.0μm mid-infrared laser can be operated by several methods. Among them, the direct generation of mid-infrared radiation by laser crystals activated by rare earth or transition group ions is the simplest and most effective method, and it is the current research hotspot. [0003] The main problem that laser crystals directly produce high-efficiency mid-infrared laser output is: because the frequency of mid-infrared lasers is very low, it is equivalent to the lattice vibration frequency of many famous laser crystals, that is, the phonon vibration frequency, which leads to rapid non-radiation relaxation and laser emission. The strong competition of the laser, therefore, leads to high passive loss of the laser. In order to overcome this problem, materials with lo...
