Spectroscopic Investigation of V³⁺:YAG Crystal

Abstract:

V³⁺ ions doped YAG crystals were grown using the Czochralski method in a highly pure argon atmosphere. The transmission spectrum of trivalent vanadium in YAG crystal has been measured at room temperature. Eight bands were observed in which two bands centered at 690nm (14493cm^-1) and 1490nm (6711cm^-1) are reported for the first time. By using the crystal-field theory and introducing the average covalent factor model, we also presented the theoretical calculations of the energy level splitting of tetrahedrally coordinated V³⁺ impurity systems in YAG crystal. These calculation results are in good agreement with the optical experiment data.
