Abstract

The invention relates to a neodymium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate laser crystal with the luminescent wavelength in a 1-micron wave band and a preparation method thereof. The neodymium-doped lutetium oxyorthosilicate laser crystal the molecular formula of which is (NdxLu1-x)2SiO5 is shorted as Nd:Lu2SiO5, wherein the value of x ranges from 0.005 to 0.01. Nd:Lu2SiO5 monocrystals are grown by adopting a melt method. The crystal can adopt AlGaAs diode pumping to realize 1-micron wave band laser operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a laser crystal, in particular to a neodymium-doped lutetium silicate laser crystal and a preparation method thereof, which is suitable for AlGaAs diode pumping. Background technique [0002] Neodymium-doped laser materials have a four-level system, which is easy to obtain effective laser output. Among them, neodymium-doped crystal materials have good thermal, mechanical and optical properties, and are a good laser gain medium, suitable for 1μm band laser operation. [0003] Lutetium silicate crystals (Lu 2 SiO 5 ) belongs to the monoclinic crystal system, has a low-symmetry crystal structure, twisted double-site characteristics, and provides stronger crystal field and coordination field for dopant ions, which is beneficial to the energy level splitting of dopant ions. In recent years, Ho 3+ , Yb 3+ Rare earth ions such as Lu 2 SiO 5 Crystals have been reported, and effective continuous laser output or pulsed laser output...
