Popis: The microstructures of double-clad Cr 4+ :YAG crystal fibers grown using a co-drawing laser-heated pedestal growth method were studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The core is single-crystalline garnet elongated in [1 1 1] direction, whereas inner cladding a composite of Cr 3+ : γ -Al 2 O 3 nanocrystals in Cr 4+ : silicate glass due to YAG/SiO 2 inter-diffusion and a high crystal-field-stabilization energy of Cr 3+ attained in close packed oxide. Cr 4+ fluorescence intensity decreases and shifts to lower wavelength for the inner cladding in comparison with the core.
