Laser crystals have been developed by combination paradigm for more than sixty years, and
the methodology is difficult to be continued in uncovering new laser materials. Recently, the …

Based on a novel disordered fluoride crystal—Nd 3+ and Gd 3+ co-doped CaF 2, we
demonstrate a dual-wavelength synchronously mode locked laser in a single cavity, for the …

The present work reports the luminescence properties and the laser operation of a Nd^ 3+-
doped (TeO_2-ZnO) bulk tellurite glass. The spectroscopic data are analyzed within the …

Optical channel waveguides with depressed cladding configurations have been produced in
Nd, Gd: CaF _2 laser crystals by using ultrafast laser inscription. Waveguide properties are …

The neodymium cluster evolution in fluorite crystals has been unknown for nearly 60 years,
which hindered further exploration of rare-earth-doped fluorite materials. In this work, the first …

Depressed-cladding waveguides are produced in Yb, Na: CaF_2 laser crystal by applying
ultrafast laser inscription. Under pumping at 946 nm, continuous-wave (CW) and Q-switched …

A series of Nd, Y: CaF2 single crystals grown using the TGT method were studied
systematically by absorption, excitation and luminescence spectroscopy, and the extended …

Within neodymium-doped laser crystals, the codoping of fluorite-type single crystals with non-
optically active buffer ions reveals the possibility for broadband laser operation around 1 μm …

Trivalent rare earth ions have rich and unique energy levels arising from 4f inner shell
configurations, which can be widely used in lasers, display, and bioimaging, etc. As the ff …

The properties of continuous wave (CW) and Q-switching on the diode-pumped Nd, Y: CaF
2 disordered crystal were demonstrated around 1 μm in this paper. Using the different cavity …
