Perspectives of creating powerful solid-state optical amplifiers based on a Ce3+:LiCaAlF6 crystal

Abstract

Pump-induced photodynamic processes in Ce3+:LiCaAlF6 (Ce:LiCAF) UV active media were studied by pump-probe technique. The modelling of a multipass optical amplifier testify the opportunity to design high-power UV laser system based on Ce:LiCAF media.
