Abstract

The invention relates to an Er-doped gadolinium yttrium silicate laser crystal and a preparation method thereof. The laser crystal has a molecular formula: (EryGdx (1-y) Y (1-x) (1-y)) 2SiO5, wherein the numeric range of the y is 0.005 to 0.01, and the numeric range of the x is more than zero and not more than 0.9. The Er-doped gadolinium yttrium silicate laser crystal grows by adopting a melt method. The laser crystal can carry out light source pumping by adopting a commercial InP laser diode or Er optical fiber laser, has large emission bandwidth and is beneficial to wide wavelength tuning.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to laser crystal, particularly a kind of yttrium-gadolinium silicate laser crystal (abbreviated as Er:(Gd x Y 1-x ) 2 SiO 5 ), which is suitable for resonant pumping of indium phosphide diodes (referred to as InP diodes) and erbium fiber lasers. Background technique [0002] Erbium-doped laser materials have attracted much attention due to their two interesting wavelengths. One is Er 3+ 4 I 11 / 2 → 4 I 13 / 2 The laser wavelength around 2.9μm generated by the transition, the other is Er 3+ 4 I 13 / 2 → 4 I 15 / 2 The laser wavelength generated by the transition is around 1.5 μm. The 2.9μm coincides with the position of the absorption peak of water, so it has great application prospects in biology and medicine, and the 1.5μm laser can be used as a safe laser for human eyes and can be used in optical fiber communication, so it is suitable for It is of great significance in the fields of laser processing, communicatio...
