Spectroscopic properties of UV active media Ce³⁺:LiCa<inf>1-x</inf>Sr<inf>x</inf>AlF<inf>6</inf>

Abstract

© 2016 IEEE.Optical absorption spectroscopy studies have shown that mixed crystals Ce3+:LiCa0,2Sr0,8AlF6 grown by Bridgeman technique exhibit more than 3 times higher absorption coefficient compared to Ce3+:LiCaAlF6 sample. An important result is based on the fact that this enhancement was achieved for two types of Ce3+ centers in a multisite Ce:LiSr0.8Ca0.2AlF6 system.
