Problems solved by technology

The world's first self-activated laser crystal was discovered in 1972 (H.G.Danielmeyer, H.P.Weber, J.Quant.Electro.QE-8(1972) 805.), and then a number of self-activated laser crystals were discovered, but Because they all have various defects, they cannot be put into practical use
At present, the most famous self-activated laser crystal is neodymium aluminum borate crystal [NdAl 3 (BO 3 ) 4 , NAB], its laser experiment has been successful, but because of its non-identical melting, it is extremely difficult to obtain crystals with high optical quality, which limits its popularization and use

Description

technical field [0001] The self-activated laser crystal scandium strontium neodymium borate and its preparation method relate to artificial crystals and crystal growth methods in the technical field of optoelectronic functional materials, in particular to a laser crystal material used as a working substance in solid-state lasers. Background technique [0002] The solid-state laser working substance is composed of matrix material and active ions. Its various physical and chemical properties are mainly determined by the matrix material, while its spectral characteristics and fluorescence lifetime are determined by the energy level structure of the active ion. Since the artificial ruby ​​pulse laser was successfully developed in 1960, hundreds of laser crystals have been discovered so far, but due to various reasons, there are only a dozen kinds of laser crystals that can really be used in practice. [0003] At present, the most widely used laser crys...
