Abstract:
© 2018 IEEE. The aim of this work is growth of LiCaAlF6:Ce3+ crystals by Bridgman technique and study of spectroscopic and laser characteristics. The maximum absorption coefficient of Ce3+ ions appeared to be up to 7 cm-1 and maximum of slope efficiency of laser action as high as 47% was achieved. Conclusions about interaction and distribution of cerium impurity centers are also discussed.
