Transient gain/loss in tunable solid-state vacuum ultraviolet laser media

We have developed a model for the net induced gain as a function of pump fluence, based on a rate equation analysis of the populations of the 4f(n-1) 5d → 4f(n) level of the activator ions and of absorptive color centers. As an example, this has been applied to LiLuF4:Ce3+, in which we have also obs...
