Abstract

The invention relates to an erbium-doped gadolinium lithium fluoride crystal and a growth method thereof, belonging to the technical field of optoelectronic materials. The conventional erbium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride crystal has low doping concentration for the reasons of ionic radius matching; and in the growth process of the conventional erbium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride crystal, the crystal with large size is difficult to grow as the yttrium lithium fluoride has high melting point and the raw material has high volatility. The erbium-doped gadolinium lithium fluoride crystal belongs to a tetragonal crystal system and takes rare earth erbium as an activated ion, wherein the erbium-doped gadolinium lithium fluoride crystal has a molecular formula of Er: LiGdF4, and the crystal matrix is gadolinium lithium fluoride. The growth method of the erbium-doped gadolinium lithium fluoride crystal is characterized in that LiF is excessively added according to LiF: GdF3=16.5 to 17:7.76to 8, and the crystal growth process parameters are determined as: the pulling speed is 0.3 to 0.8mm / h, the rotation speed is 3 to 10rpm, and the growth temperature is 745 to 755 DEG C. The erbium-doped gadolinium lithium fluoride crystal is a laser crystal and is suitable for a high-power solid laser.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an erbium-doped gadolinium lithium fluoride crystal and a growth method thereof. The erbium-doped gadolinium lithium fluoride crystal is a laser crystal with a simplified formula of Er:GLF and belongs to the technical field of optoelectronic materials. Background technique [0002] Erbium-doped laser has the characteristics of good atmospheric transmission characteristics, strong smoke penetration ability, and good confidentiality. It is used in laser ranging, lidar, photoelectric interference, remote sensing, environmental monitoring, optical communication and other fields. In addition, the erbium-doped laser has strong absorption in water, so it is not only safe for human eyes, but also can accurately intervene in biological tissues. Therefore, it is also valuable in medical fields such as ophthalmic surgery. [0003] The laser materials used in Erbium-doped lasers are Erbium-doped crystals, including fluoride crystals, such ...
