Photodynamic processes in LiCaAlF6:Ce3+ UV active medium

Abstract

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. The objectives of this paper are experimental studies of pump-induced effects in LiCaAlF6: Ce3+ single crystals and computer model elaboration and appropriated software package engineering. The elaborated experimental technique and software allow either to calculate the nonlinear absorption/gain characteristics of the active medium on the basis of known parameters, or to find its previously unknown parameters from pump-probe experimental dependences.
