Abstract
The present work focuses on the spectroscopic and laser properties of Nd3+ in a Li2O–BaO–Al2O3–P2O5 aluminophosphate glass which includes Judd-Ofelt calculation, stimulated emission cross-section of the 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 emission laser transition, lifetime of the 4F3/2 state and quantum efficiency. Site-selective laser spectroscopy and stimulated emission under selective excitation has been performed to determine the crystal field inhomogeneity at the Nd3+ site together with its broadening effect on the spontaneous and laser emissions. However, a much narrowed laser emission has been achieved by using an intracavity tilting plate which acts as a tunable optical filter to adjust the laser wavelength.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
