Three peaks located at 504, 544, and 688 nm and a broad band in the range of 1200–1600 nm centered at 1472 nm were observed in the absorption spectra. The absorption peak position suggests cobalt ions in the divalent state in the grown crystal. Moreover, the cobalt ions are confirmed to locate in the distorted cubic crystal structure. Upon excitation of 500 nm light, a sharp emission peak at 747 nm ascribed to the ^2T2（H1） →^4A2（F） transition was observed for the crystal. The Co^2＋-doped Na5Lu9F（32）crystal shows a potentially promising material for the application of a passively Q-switched laser operating in the near-infrared range.展开更多
