Cr4+-Doped LiAlO2 and LiGaO2: New Potential Laser Materials for the Infrared Spectral Range

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The spectroscopic properties of the new potential tunable infrared laser materials Cr4+:LiAlO2 and Cr4+:LiGaO2 are presented. The Cr4+-emission extends from 1.1 µm to 1.7µm, with a room temperature lifetime of 29µsec in LiAlO2 and 18µsec in LiGaO2, respectively. These are the longest lifetimes observed until now for the tetrahedrally co-ordinated Cr4+-ion. The high ratio between room temperature and low temperature lifetime gives hope to realize efficient continuous wave laser action with these materials.
