Abstract
The Yb:YCOB crystals with good optical quality were obtained by the Czochra lsky technology. Absorption and emission spectra and luminescence decay kin etics were measured. Spectra of absorption and emission cross-section were designed by the reciprocity and the Fuhtbauer-Ladenburg methods. Comparison spectral and luminescence properties of YCOB crystals and some others crys tals doped with ytterbium were performed. The results of spectroscopic inve stigations have confirmed that the Yb:YCOB crystals are of great interest a s active elements for diode pumping tunable lasers and lasers with supersho rt pulses of generation.
