Modified Czochralski growth and characterization of Nd3+-doped CsLa(WO4)2 crystal

Observation ofχ(3)-nonlinear optical effects in stimulated Raman scattering (SRS)-active CsLa(WO4)2crystals: high-order Stokes and anti-Stokes generation and self-Raman CsLa(WO4)2:Nd3+laser converter

“…a = b = 6.552; c = 9.640 Site symmetry (SS) and coordination number (CN) of cations (Cs + /La 3+ ): SS − 4e, CN = 8; W 6+ : SS − 8f, CN = 4 Formula units per primitive cell Z pr = 2 Density, g cm −3 ~6.16 Melting temperature, °C ~1040 Thermal expansion coefficient, 10 −6 K −1 [48] α b Averaged statistical data by results of the study double rare-earth multifunctional tungstates (see, e.g. [33,37]).…”

Spectra and energy levels of a layered Yb3+:CsGd(MoO4)2 crystal with perfect cleavage: a candidate for microchip lasers

“…Most likely, the difficulties (e.g., incongruent melting, structural transformation and cleavage) in the growth of single crystals with centimeter dimensions hamper the spectroscopic analysis and laser applications. 10,11 Our group have presented the growth and spectroscopic characterization of Nd 3+ :CsLa(WO 4 ) 2 crystal, 11 an interesting crystal with the ordered tetragonal structure. Unfortunately, we failed to obtain the nominal Yb 3+ :CsLa(WO 4 ) 2 crystal, since Yb 3+ could hardly incorporate into the crystal lattice.…”
