Study on Growth and Crack of Yb:YAG Laser Crystal

Article Preview

Abstract:

The 5at.% Yb3+-doped YAG crystal was grown by the Czochraski method, and the crystal growth process was investigated. the optimal process parameters were determined as follows: The crystal growing rate for Shoulder growth and equal-diameter growth were 0.8mm/h and 1mm/h, respectively. The optimal Rotation speed of this crystal was 15rad/min, and the axial temperature gradient was 0.01−0.05°C/mm. The impact factors to crystal growth were analyzed theoretically, such as growth rate, rotation speed, thermal effect and crystal size.
