In this work,five kinds of crystals were successfully synthesized using the Czochralski method for the first time,namely Dy∶Ca_(3)Li_(0.275)Nb_(1.775)Ga_(2.95)O_(12)(CLNGG),Dy,Tb∶CLNGG,Dy,Eu∶CLNGG,Tb∶CLNGG,and Eu...In this work,five kinds of crystals were successfully synthesized using the Czochralski method for the first time,namely Dy∶Ca_(3)Li_(0.275)Nb_(1.775)Ga_(2.95)O_(12)(CLNGG),Dy,Tb∶CLNGG,Dy,Eu∶CLNGG,Tb∶CLNGG,and Eu∶CLNGG.A detailed investigation of spectral features and energy transfer mechanisms in such crystals was conducted by analyzing their optical absorption spectra,excitation and emission spectra,and fluorescence decay curves at ambient tem-perature.Calculations based on the Judd-Ofelt theory further elucidated these features.The results demonstrate that in the Dy^(3+)system,co-doping with Tb^(3+)and Eu^(3+)ions not only enhances the emission cross-sections in the yellow wavelength re-gion but also improves the fluorescence quantum efficiency.These improvements are particularly beneficial for achieving efficient yellow light output from Dy^(3+).Additionally,the studies confirm the occurrence of reciprocal energy transfer be-tween Dy^(3+)and Tb^(3+)ions in Dy,Tb∶CLNGG crystals,whereas unidirectional energy transfer from Dy^(3+)to Eu^(3+)occurs in Dy,Eu∶CLNGG crystals.Based on the obtained research results,Dy,Tb∶CLNGG and Dy,Eu∶CLNGG crystals could be utilized as compelling and potential laser media for diode-pumped all-solid-state yellow lasers.展开更多

The refractive index profile at either 632.8-nm wavelength or 1539-nm wavelength was optical barrier type in the proton-implanted Nd：CLNGG crystal optical waveguide, which was calculated by using the reflectivity calculation method. The near-field light intensity distributions were also simulated by the finite-difference beam propagation method in the visible and nearinfrared bands.展开更多
