Example Embodiment

[0016] Example 1.

[0017] Will Yb 2 O 3 , Y 2 O 3 , Al 2 O 3 , Cr 2 O 3 And CaCO 3 High-purity raw materials are weighed according to x=0.05, y=0.0001, z=5y / 3, and the total weight is 1Kg. After mechanically mixing uniformly, use a press machine at 35kg / cm 2 It is pressed into a cake under a pressure of 1500C and then sintered in a neutral nitrogen atmosphere at 1600°C for 15 hours. The furnace is loaded and vacuumed and filled with high-purity nitrogen, and heated to melt for growth. The pulling speed is 1mm / h, and the rotation speed is 15rpm. After growing the crystals, slowly lower to room temperature and take out the crystals. The crystal is blue-green, complete, and good quality.

Abstract

A method for preparing yttrium aluminum garnet crystals doped with Yb3+ and Cr4+ ions. The raw materials of the method are formulated according to the following reaction equation: 3xYb2O3+3(1-x-z)Y2O3+5(1-y)Al2O3+5yCr2O3+ 6zCaCO3=2Yb3xY3(1-x-z) Cr5yCa3zAl5(1-y) O (12-3z/2) +6zCO2 in which 0.05≤x≤0.5, 0.01%≤y≤2%, y≤z≤5y, in common The medium frequency induction heating single crystal furnace adopts the pulling method to grow. The method of the invention is easy to grow the yttrium aluminum garnet crystal of Yb3+ and Cr4+ ions, and the crystal can be directly pumped by an InGaAs semiconductor laser to realize the excitation output of 1.1-1.6 μm, and can improve the laser performance of the crystal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tunable laser crystal, especially a Yb-doped 3+ and Cr 4+ Preparation of ionic yttrium aluminum garnet crystals. Background technique [0002] Doped with Cr 4+ Ion laser crystal (Cr 4+ :Mg2SiO 4 、Cr 4+ :YAG) to succeed Ti:Al 2 o 3 After the crystal (0.6-1.1 μm), it is expected to realize tunable, ultra-fast laser output and passive modulation important laser crystal materials in the 1-1.6 μm band. Cr 4+ As a new luminescent center, its unique tuning band fills the gap in the near-infrared band of solid-state tunable lasers, supplemented by laser frequency doubling technology, which can be combined with Ti:Al 2 o 3 Together, the wavelength can be tunable from 600-1600nm. Cr 4+ Lasers can be widely used in optical communication, medicine, light radar, remote sensing, infrared high resolution, laser technology, basic science and other fields. [0003] In 1993, American scholar H.Eilers and others realized Cr at room...
