Problems solved by technology

Due to the special crystal structure, Nd 3+ Ion-doped dianion fluoride crystals (MeF 2 , Me=Ca, Sr, Ba, Cd, Pb, etc.) often have broadband absorption and emission spectra, but due to the Nd 3+ Cluster structures are particularly easy to form in such crystals, resulting in a strong fluorescence quenching effect that prevents practically meaningful laser output.

Abstract

The invention relates to a neodymium ion doped fluoride laser crystal, and the fluoride laser crystal of MeF2 is doped with monovalent cation M+ which is doped together with the neodymium ion Nd3+. According to the invention, monovalent cation M+ is doped together in Nd:MeF2 crystal; with the proviso that the broadband emmission spectrum characteristic is ensured, the fluorescence quenching effect of Nd ions is reduced, and the fluorescence life is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of artificial crystals and laser materials, and in particular relates to a new laser crystal material. Background technique [0002] After half a century of development in laser science and technology, super-intensive and ultra-short pulse lasers are at the forefront of its development. Ultra-intensive and ultra-short lasers provide new experimental means and extreme physical conditions for human scientific research, and promote the development of multiple natural basic sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology, and materials to a deeper level, as well as the progress of information science and technology. At present, ultra-intense and ultra-short laser technology is developing towards a new generation, all-LD pumping method, and the laser media used are mainly Nd-doped glass and Yb-doped crystal. [0003] Among them, Yb 3+ ion 4f 13 The electron orbitals are strongly coupled to the crystal field, resulting in b...
