X-ray diffraction results confirm the formation of CaGdAlO4：Eu^3＋ at 900 % （CSG）, 1200℃ （HDW） and 1400℃ （SS）, respectively. Field emission scan electron microscopy （FE-SEM） images show that the CaGdAlO4：Eu^3＋ powder prepared by the CSG and HDW method has an elliptical shape and that prepared under the SS method has a flaky shape. Upon excitation with 280 nm UV light, all the CaGdAlO4： Eu^3＋ powders show bright red emission on account of the 4f-4f transitions of the Eu^3＋ ions. Moreover, the size of the phosphor particles and the emission intensity increase with the increase of calcined temperature. At the same calcination temperature of 1400 ℃, the ^5D0→^7F2 emission intensity of the sample prepared by HDW method is the highest. Stark components of the ^5D0→^7FJ emission transitions, both at room temperature and at a low temperature, reveal that the Eu^3＋ ions occupy only one site with non-centrosymmetry in the crystals.展开更多

The threshold pump power of the laser is 180mW. A maximum average output power of 93mW is obtained under the pump power of 1.94 W. The pulse duration of the mode-locked pulses is 3.1ps and the repetition rate is 157MHz.展开更多

The segregation coefficient, x ray diffraction, and x ray rocking curve are detected, and the results reveal that the single crystal is of high quality. The f-f transitions of Eu3＋ in the host lattice are discussed. The 5D0-7F2 emis- sion transition at 621 nm （red light） is dominant over the 5D0-7F1 emission transitions at 591 and 599 nm （orange light）, agreeing well with the random crystal environment of Eu3＋ ions in a CGA crystal. The decay time of Eu：5D0 is measured to be 1.02 ms. All the results show that the Eu：CGA crystal has good optical char- acterization and promises to be an excellent red- fluorescence material.展开更多
