The absorption, luminescence, and luminescent lifetimes of the excited state of Yb3+ in SOCl2 – GaCl3 – Yb3+ solutions were measured. Information was obtained on the Stark splitting of energy levels, absorption cross sections, and stimulated emission of Yb3+ in SOCl2 – GaCl3 – Yb3+. The possibility of creating a ytterbium laser based on inorganic liquid SOCl2 – GaCl3 – Yb3+ with diode pumping was considered.
The spectra of absorption, luminescence, and lifetime of Yb3+ in SO2Cl2 – GaCl3 – Yb3+ solutions were measured. Information is obtained on the Stark splitting of energy levels, absorption and stimulated emission cross sections of Yb3+. An analysis of the spectral dependence of the gain cross sections indicates that the SOCl2 – GaCl3 – Yb3 solution is promising as the active medium of a diode-pumped liquid ytterbium laser.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
