Abstract
Results of spectral kinetic investigations of LiLuF4:Ce3+ (LLF:Ce) cry stals are presented. We created a UV laser using interconfiguration 5d -4f transitions of Ce3+ ions in LiLuF4 pumped by an excimer KrF laser. In energy parameters and photochemical stability of the active medium , the designed LLF:Ce laser is vastly superior to analogous YLF:Ce las ers. The created laser shows considerable promise for various applicat ions.
