Abstract

The invention discloses a novel medium-infrared laser crystal of a ytterbium, holmium and dysprosium-doped lead fluoride and a preparation method of the novel medium-infrared laser crystal. Holmium ions act as activating ions to realize a fluorescence output of 2.7 to 3.1 micrometers, and corresponding luminescence energy level transition is holmium: 5I6 to 5I7; ytterbium ions act as sensitizing ions to solve the problem of low absorption efficiency of the holmium ions at a commercial high-power LD pump; dysprosium ions have two effects; on one hand, the dysprosium ions shortens the life of the lower energy level (5I7) of the holmium ions, and the energy level life of the upper energy level (5I6) of the cesium ion does not change obviously, thus beneficially achieving the holmium: 5I6 to 5I7 population inversion and the mid-infrared laser output of the holmium ions; on the other hand, by energy transfer from holmium: 5I7 to dysprosium: 6H13 / 2, the number of particles on the upper energy level (6H13 / 2) of the dysprosium ions is increased, and dysprosium: 6H13 / 2 arrow 6H15 / 2 population inversion and mid-infrared laser output of the dysprosium ions are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser crystal gain materials, in particular to a novel mid-infrared laser crystal and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The mid-infrared 2.7-3.1 micron band is at the absorption peak of water molecules and harmful gas molecules. It can be widely used in medical engineering, air pollution monitoring, laser radar, scientific research and other fields. At the same time, it can achieve more The long-wavelength laser output has broad application prospects. In the current research work, the main dopant ions of 2.7-3.1 microns are concentrated in Er 3+ and Ho 3+ Between, such as doping Er 3+ YAP, YAG, LiYF 4 Laser crystals, etc., however Er-doped 3+ High-concentration doping is often required in the matrix of laser crystals, which makes it difficult to obtain laser crystals with high optical quality. By comparison, doped Ho 3+ The laser crystal can obtain a laser crystal with hig...
