Comparison of Neodymium Laser Hosts Based on Fluoro-Apatite Structure
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
A comparative study of the Czochralski crystal growth of Ca and Sr fluoro-phosphate, Ca and Sr fluoro- and chloro-vanadate is reported. Sr fluoro-phosphate and fluoro-vanadate demonstrate the best overall properties and crystal quality. Codoping of the fluoro-apatite crystals with Si4+ or Ge4+ ions increases the neodymium distribution coefficient but somewhat deteriorate the Nd3+ emission.
