Abstract

Abstract:

The Er³⁺-doped crystals can produce 2.7~3.0 μm mid-infrared(MIR) lasers, which have attracted much attention for their numerous applications in laser medical surgery, optical communication, enviromental detector and electro-optical countermeasure, etc. Based on the past few years' work on the study of Er³⁺ activated crystals by our team, we review the effect of co-dopant rare-earth ions on the spectroscopic properties of Er³⁺ activated MIR laser crystals, including the sensitizing ions Cr³⁺, Yb³⁺, etc. which can enhance the intensity of characteristic absorption peaks of Er³⁺; the deactivating ions Ho³⁺, Pr³⁺, etc. which can inhibit the self-termination bottleneck effects, furthermore, the co-dopant Nd³⁺ion can play a dual role at the same time. In the end, the expectations on the study of MIR lasers are presented.

Key words: Er ion, mid-infrared laser crystal, spectroscopic properties, sensitizing ion, deactivating ion
