Effect of Zr 4+ concentration on light scattering resistance of Zr:Ho:LiNbO 3 crystals
Abstract
In this study, Zr:Ho:LiNbO3 crystals ([Li]/[Nb] = 0.946) were grown in air along the C-axis by Czochralski method. The occupation of Zr4+ in the crystal and the effect of Zr4+ on the internal structure of the crystal were studied by infrared absorption spectroscopy. The effect of Zr4+ on the light scattering resistance of crystal was studied by the light scattering energy threshold effect, and the mechanism of improving the light scattering resistance of crystal was discussed. The spectral properties of Ho3+ in Zr:Ho:LiNbO3 crystals are discussed based on Judd–Ofelt theory, and the laser properties of Zr:Ho:LiNbO3 crystals are evaluated.
