A. Kaminskii et al., Visible laser action of Dy3+ ions in monoclinic KY(WO4)(2) and KGd(WO4)(2)crystals under xe-flashlamp pumping, JPN J A P 2, 39(3AB), 2000, pp. L208-L211
Pulsed laser action in the novel visible laser channels F-4(9/2) --> H-6(13
/2) (at approximate to 0.57 mu m) and F-4(9/2) --> H-6(11/2) (at approximat
e to 0.66 mu m) of Dy3+ ions in monoclinic KY(WO4)(2) and KGd(WO4)(2) singl
e crystals at nitrogen cryogenic temperature under Xe-flashlamp pumping is
excited for the first time. All observed lasing emissions are identified. S
ome spectroscopic characteristics of the investigated crystals are also pre
sented.
