Polycrystalline materials used for Re∶GdYCOB single crystals growth were synthesized by multistage solid phase reaction method.Re∶GdYCOB single crystals were grown by Czochralski technique.The pulling rates are 0.5-2mm/h and the rotation rates are 10-30r/min.Usually 65-75% polycrystalline materials can be transformed into good quality single crystals under our growth conditions. The structures of some as grown Re∶GdYCOB single crystals were measured by using a four circle diffractometer.The results measured show that the space group of the crystals is C 3 s Cm.The determined lattice constants of 8 at% Nd doped Ca 4YO(BO 3) 3 single crystal are a =0.8076nm, b =1.6020nm, c =0.3527nm , β =101.23°.展开更多

The maximum laser output power can reach 3.63 W with the pump power of 27.5 W. The optical-to-optical conversion efficiency is up to 13.2%, which is the highest value at 593.5 nm by the intracavity sum-frequency Nd:YVO4 laser according to the reported data.展开更多
