Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in growing Ce 3+ :LiYF 4 Crystals have the following key technical issues: 1) Ce 3+ Doping is achieved by substituting Y 3+ Enter LiYF 4 Lattice, Ce 3+ (1.034 ) and Y 3+ (0.893 ); the ionic radius is very mismatched, the crystal stress obtained by growth is large, and the crystal is prone to cracking, due to Ce 3+ In LiYF 4 The segregation coefficient in the crystal is small and the distribution is extremely uneven, which affects the utilization rate and quality of the crystal; 2) LiYF 4 Fluoride crystals will volatilize and produce highly corrosive fluoride gas during the high-temperature growth process, which will cause loss to equipment, and may cause serious harm to the human body, especially due to the volatilization of the gas, resulting in the loss of the original formula components. missing, affecting the quality of the crystal

Abstract

The invention discloses a Ce<3+> doped gadolinium lithium fluoride ultraviolet laser crystal and a preparation method thereof. Ce<3+> rare earth ions are doped into LiGdF4 crystals to generate monocrystals with the chemical formula of LiGd(1-alpha)CealphaF4. The fluoride monocrystals have the characteristics of low growth temperature, uniform distribution of Ce<3+>, small stress, and good calorimetric, mechanical and chemical stability. The preparation method adopts a water and oxygen insulation sealed crucible descent technology and allows raw materials to undergo high temperature fluorination treatment in order to obtain high-quality crystals containing almost no hydroxide ions. The crystals emit strong 300-345nm ultraviolet fluorescence under the excitation of light with the wavelength of 296nm, and can be expected to be applied in the laser medicine field, the material processing field, the laser spectroscopy field, the laser chemistry field and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a special fluoride single crystal, in particular to a Ce 3+ Ion-doped gadolinium fluoride lithium ultraviolet laser crystal and its preparation method. Background technique [0002] Tunable short-wavelength ultraviolet lasers have important applications in laser medicine, material processing, laser spectroscopy, and laser chemistry. The short-wavelength tunable dye lasers currently used are subject to certain limitations because the dyes are prone to photodecomposition under the action of ultraviolet light; and color center and terminal phonon lasers are difficult to achieve continuous output in the ultraviolet band. [0003] Among all rare earth luminescent ions, due to Ce 3+ Ionic 4 f- 5 The d energy level transition can emit ultraviolet light with the shortest wavelength. Since 1980, some Ce-based 3+ Ion-doped various solid-state laser materials, but some of these materials quench the ultraviolet emission due to their ...
