Bridgman growth and defects of Nd3+ : Sr3Ga2Ge4O14 laser crystals

BRIDGMAN GROWTH AND PROPERTIES OF LuAlO3-Nd3+ LASER CRYSTALS

The solidification behavior of LuA103 melts in Bridgman geometry is presentedThe contribution of different growth parameters to crystallization of single phase LuA10, are studied. Growth scheme for L U A ~ O ~ N ~ ~ + crystals possessing improved laser properties is described. LuA103 (space group ~:E-~bnm) is the end member of the rhombic rareearth group (LnA103, where Ln = Y or Ln ion between ...

Growth and Characterization of Vanadate Laser Crystals

Based on the invention and widely application of the Czochralski pulling method, vanadate crystals have been grown and commercialized in recent decades. In this paper, the growth and characterization of a series of neodymium doped vanadate crystals have been reviewed, including Nd:YVO4, Nd:GdVO4, and Nd:LuVO4. The excellent thermal-mechanical and laser property make them to be used in many resp...

Growth of Bi doped cadmium zinc telluride single crystals by Bridgman oscillation method and its structural, optical, and electrical analyses

Growth of Oxide Laser Crystals by Czochralski Method

The growth of series of actual laser crystals belonging to di erent structural types by the Czochralski method is presented. The primary attention is given to single crystalline compounds and their solid solutions with garnet structure (scandium-containing rare-earth garnets with general formula {LnSc}3[ScMe]2Me3O12, Me = Al, Ga) as well as with olivine (forsterite Mg2SiO4) and scheelite struct...
