Abstract

The invention discloses a Tm<3+> self-activated laser crystal and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the field of infrared laser gain materials. The chemical general formula of the laser crystal is ATm (MoO4)2, wherein A is selected from at least one of Li, Na and K elements. In the crystal, the Tm<3+> ions have dual effects, on the one hand, the Tm<3+> ions are used as active luminescent ions, and on the other hand, the Tm<3+> ions are used as one part of a crystal matrix, so that the concentration is greatly improved, 2-micron fluorescence emission of the Tm<3+> ions is facilitated, the laser threshold is reduced and the laser efficiency is improved. The crystal can grow by adopting a Czochralski method or a molten salt method. The crystal is adopted as a gain medium, efficientinfrared laser output near 2 microns can be achieved by utilizing semiconductor laser pumping with the central emission wavelength of 760-820nm, and the crystal has important application prospects inthe fields of medical treatment, scientific research, military affairs and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser crystal gain materials, in particular to a Tm 3+ Self-activated laser crystal and method for its preparation. Background technique [0002] Lasers in the band near 2 microns have broad application prospects in civil and military fields such as communications, air pollution monitoring, sensing, medical treatment, engineering control, remote sensing, and lidar. Among many luminescent ions, thulium ion (Tm 3+ ) is one of the effective ions to achieve laser output in the vicinity of 2 microns. T m 3+ Rich ion energy levels, ground state 3 h 6 Tm on energy level 3+ After absorbing the pump light with a wavelength of about 800nm, the ions transition to 3 h 4 energy level, at 3 h 4 Tm of energy level 3+ Ions with adjacent Tm in the ground state 3+ The ions interact, this process is called the cross-relaxation process, expressed as: Tm 3+ ( 3 h 4 )+Tm 3+ ( 3 h 6 )→2Tm 3+ ( 3 f 4 ), then...
