Growth and mid-infrared emission properties of "mixed" fluorite-type Er:(Ca,Sr)F2 and Er:(Ba,Sr)F2 crystals
Fluorite-type 5 at.% Er3+:(M1,M2)F2 (M1 = Ca, Ba; M2 = Sr) crystals were grown by the conventional Bridgman technique and a comparative study of their spectroscopic properties was performed. The vibronic properties of the fluorite-type crystals were studied by Raman spectroscopy. The Er:(M1,M2)F2 cr...

description | Fluorite-type 5 at.% Er3+:(M1,M2)F2 (M1 = Ca, Ba; M2 = Sr) crystals were grown by the conventional Bridgman technique and a comparative study of their spectroscopic properties was performed. The vibronic properties of the fluorite-type crystals were studied by Raman spectroscopy. The Er:(M1,M2)F2 crystals exhibited a slightly inhomogeneous broadening of mid-infrared luminescence spectra as compared to the ‘parent’ compound, Er:SrF2. The luminescence lifetimes of the 4I11/2 and 4I13/2 manifolds were measured, e.g., for the Er:(Ca,Sr)F2 crystal, the luminescence lifetimes were estimated to be 8.64 ms and 5.64 ms, respectively, representing a favorable ratio for mid-IR laser operation. |
