Assessment of the spectroscopic properties and laser performance of a prominent Nd3+:NaLu(MoO4)2 laser crystal

Synthesis, crystal structures and properties of the new compounds K7–x Ag1+x (XO4)4 (X = Mo, W)

“…A large number of double molybdates and tungstates of alkaline elements with di-or trivalent metals is an area of increasing interest because of the wide range of important physical properties and because of the potential applications of these compounds, such as promising optical materials (Maczka et al, 2012;Shimemura et al, 2017), effective phosphors (Benoît et al, 2011;Mo et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2009), laser materials (Balda et al, 2006;Yu et al, 2016;Loiko et al, 2016), as well as ferroelectrics (Isupov, 2005a,b) and solidstate electrolytes (Savina et al, 2013;Tsyrenova et al, 2016;Shukaev et al, 2016;Solodovnikov et al, 2017). Double molybdates and tungstates of two different alkali cations are also of special interest.…”

Novel Laser Crystal Nd:LiY(MoO4)2: Crystal Growth, Characterization, and Orthogonally Polarized Dual-Wavelength Laser

“…The fluorescence lifetime was determined to be 141 μs based on a single exponential fitting. The Nd:LYMO crystal exhibits a longer fluorescence lifetime than those of other Nd-doped crystals, such as Nd:La 2 CaB 8 O 16 (105 μs), Nd:β-LaBSiO 5 (90.18 μs), and Nd:NaLu­(MoO 4 ) 2 (127.6 μs); this feature demonstrates that the Nd:LYMO crystal has better energy storage performance.…”

“…The fluorescence lifetime was determined to be 141 μs based on a single exponential fitting. The Nd:LYMO crystal exhibits a longer fluorescence lifetime than those of other Nd-doped crystals, such as Nd:La 2 CaB 8 O 16 (105 μs), 30 Nd:β-LaBSiO 5 (90.18 μs), 31 and Nd:NaLu-(MoO 4 ) 2 (127.6 μs); 32 this feature demonstrates that the Nd:LYMO crystal has better energy storage performance. Figure 3 shows that the emission wavelength of the Nd:LYMO crystal changes from 1061 to 1068 nm when the excitation light polarization direction changes from parallel to the c-axis direction to perpendicular to the c-axis direction.…”
