Problems solved by technology

At present, the preparation process of laser crystals is generally as follows: according to the characteristics of different crystals, adopt corresponding growth methods (such as pulling method, flux method, crucible drop method, etc.) The thickness is cut and shaped, and then rough polishing, fine polishing, coating, and finally can be used. The whole processing process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and costly. It can be said that the processing cost occupies an important proportion in the price of laser crystal devices, sometimes even More than the cost of the material itself, and for thin-sheet crystal devices, the precision requirements are high, the risk of breaking is high, the yield is low, and the material loss is high (taking the current commonly used processing equipment as an example, cutting a knife will lose about 0.25mm thick crystal ), the processing cost has remained high for a long time

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of laser materials and laser, and relates to a preparation method and an application of a processing-free lamellar laser crystal. Re2O3 and PbHPO4 are mixed and put into a platinum crucible, wherein Re is Nd and Y, or Nd and Lu. When the crystal grows, the temperature is firstly raised to 1250 DEG C from room temperature and kept for 24 hours, cooling growth is started after the solution is stable, and a power supply of the platinum crucible is turned off after the temperature is reduced to 900 DEG C, so that the crystal is naturally cooled to roomtemperature, soaked in boiling concentrated nitric acid for 2 days finally and separated from a fluxing agent to obtain a lamellar laser crystal; the prepared lamellar laser crystal has high doping concentration, large gain, long fluorescence life, high thermal conductivity and high optical damage threshold, and laser output with low pumping threshold, high efficiency and high power is convenientto obtain; besides, the laser crystal can be conveniently combined with a passive Q-switching element or a nonlinear optical element, and accordingly, pulsed or visible and ultraviolet laser is obtained, and the laser crystal is miniaturized, low in cost, long in service life and convenient to carry and use, and has wide application prospect.
