| Popis: | The development of solid state tunable lasers in the ultraviolet region would have a wide range of applications, including atmospheric remote sensing, atmospheric spectroscopy and pollution monitoring. The first work with Ce : LiCAF was published in 1993, with subsequent reports on favorable results with Ce : LiSAF. While the optical quality of Ce : LiSAF is superior, it suffers from solarization. In contrast, Ce : LiCAF shows minimal solarization and higher efficiencies, even with the typically high-scatter materials available. This presentation will summarize the crystal growth and material characterization of a series of colquiriite crystals with various Sr : Ca ratios. Based on these results, in addition to laser measurements, an optimum composition of Ce : LiSr x Ca 1− x AlF 6 will be determined. |
