Doped neodymium lithium lanthanum barium tungstate laser crystal and its preparation method and usage

Abstract

In this invention, C20chralski method is used for the growth of neodymium doped lithium lanthanum barium tungstate laser crystal. The growth conditions are: growth temperature 1410 deg.C, crystal rotation rate 15-20 r.p.m, pulling speed 1.5-3 mm / h. This crystal is of cubic crystal, space group being of Fm3m, single cell parameter a=0.859 angstrom, Z=4, single cell volum V=523.41 cubic angstrom. This invented crystal is a novel kind of laser crystal, it can produce laser output at about 1.06 micron wave length, and being prospected to be real utilization.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optoelectronic functional materials, in particular to a laser crystal as a working substance in a solid-state laser. Background technique

[0002] Laser crystal is the working substance of solid-state laser. It refers to the luminescent material that uses crystal as the matrix to absorb pump light energy and convert it into laser output through discrete luminescent centers. The solid-state laser working substance is composed of matrix material and active ions. Its various physical and chemical properties are mainly determined by the matrix material, while its spectral characteristics and fluorescence lifetime are determined by the energy level structure of the active ion.

[0003] Since the artificial ruby ​​pulse laser was successfully developed in 1960, hundreds of laser crystals have been discovered so far, but due to various reasons, there are only a dozen kinds of laser crystals that can really be us...

Examples

Embodiment

[0011] Example: The doping concentration is 1.22 at.% Nd grown by pulling method 3+ Nd 3+ :BaLaLiWO 6 laser crystals.

[0012] Accurately weighed BaCO according to the ratio 3 , Li 2 CO 3 , La 2 o 3 、WO 3 and Nd 2 o 3 Mix and grind evenly, after tableting, put in Ф80×80mm 3 In a corundum crucible, the solid state reaction was carried out at 1100°C for 24 hours in a muffle furnace, and then the temperature was raised to 1300°C for 48 hours, and the reaction was repeated twice. Put the synthesized above samples into Ф40×35mm 3 In the iridium gold crucible, put it into the pulling furnace, adopt the pulling method, in N 2 In the atmosphere, the growth temperature is 1410°C, the crystal rotation speed is 20 rpm, and the pulling speed is 2 mm / hour, a crystal with a size of φ20×19mm is grown. 3 Nd 3+ :BaLaLiWO 6 crystals. The plasma elemental analysis showed that Nd in the crystal 3+ The ion content is 1.22 at.%.
