Crystal Growth, Thermal and Spectral Properties of Er: LGGG Crystal

A high-quality Er(3+)-doped (Gd(1−x)Lu(x))(3)Ga(5)O(12) (Er: LGGG) laser crystal with a size of Φ 36 × 45 mm(3) was successfully grown by the Czochralski (Cz) method for the first time. The effective segregation coefficient of Er(3+) was determined to be 0.97, close to 1, and, thus, the uniform high...

description A high-quality Er(3+)-doped (Gd(1−x)Lu(x))(3)Ga(5)O(12) (Er: LGGG) laser crystal with a size of Φ 36 × 45 mm(3) was successfully grown by the Czochralski (Cz) method for the first time. The effective segregation coefficient of Er(3+) was determined to be 0.97, close to 1, and, thus, the uniform high-quality Er: LGGG crystal can be grown. In addition, the thermal and spectroscopic properties of Er: LGGG were investigated. Based on the measured characteristics, the Er: LGGG crystal has a huge potential for use in the 3.0 µm mid-infrared laser because of its outstanding optical quality, extraordinary thermal conductivity and stable structure.
