Polarized spectral properties of Yb^（3＋）：MgMoO_4 crystal, including absorption and emission cross-sections, absorption FWHM and fluorescence lifetime, have been investigated. The laser performance parameters bmin, Isat and Iminhave also been evaluated. All the investigated results show the Yb^（3＋）-doped MgMoO_4 crystal is expected as a promising candidate for ultrashort pulse and tunable lasers.展开更多

The dependence of temperature and SHG phase match wavelength and the temp erature acceptance were measured by a cw Ti∶Al 2O 3 laser(Spectra Physics M odel 3900S).The results show a linear relationship between phase match wavelengt h and temperature and a about 4℃ temperature acceptance.The homogeneity on a KL N crystal sample of 4×5×8mm was characterized where the SHG phase match wavele ngth changed within 887.8 and 887.5nm . With comparing the wavelength accepta nce being 0.5nm,the result suggests that the homogeneity is good. The dependence bet ween crystal composition,crystal lattice constants and SHG properties will be di scussed.展开更多

Room-temperature absorption and fluorescence spectra were measured. The ground-state energy-level splitting was 562 cm–1. The absorption cross section, peak emission cross section as well as the minimum inversion fraction ？min and the minimum absorbed pump intensity Imin were calculated. The measured emission lifetime was 0.676 ms and the emission spectral bandwidth （FWHM） was up to 55 nm. In comparison with established laser crystals the results suggested that this crystal has potential application in efficient tunable and femtosecond laser operation.展开更多
