Crystal Growth and Optical Spectroscopy of Ytterbium-Doped Lutetium Orthophosphate

Article Preview

Abstract:

The flux growrh method is employed to grow the Yb:LuPO4 crystal using lead pyrophosphate Pb2P2O7 as the high-timperature solvent. The infrared spectroscopy(IR) was tested to determine the purity of the obtained crystal. The absorption spectra of the 5% Yb-doped Yb:LuPO4 crystal was measured at room temperature. Three absorption peaks that located on 985nm, 976nm and 953nm were found, and the absorption cross sections on the absorption peaks were calculated respectively. The results shows that Yb:LuPO4 crystal has potential to be applied as laser material.
