Hf. Pan et al., EFFECTS OF LU3-PROPERTIES AND LASER PERFORMANCES OF NYAB CRYSTAL( DOPING ON OPTICAL), Chinese Physics Letters, 13(8), 1996, pp. 602-605
Volume compensation (VC) achieved in (Lu, Md):Yal(3)(BO3)(4)(YAB) crys
tal codoped with Lu3+ and Nd3+ ions is described. The lattice paramete
rs, spectral properties and laser performances of the VC (Lu, Nd):YAB
and single-doped Nd:YAB (NYAB) crystals are measured and compared. The
results indicate that the laser performances of NYAB crystal can be g
reatly improved by the VC doping.
