Abstract
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 local structure design has been proposed and advances have been obtained. This review systematically summarizes the development history of rare earth clusters, cluster structures, evolution characteristics, design principles and the utilization for regulating spectral properties and laser performance of rare earth doped fluorite crystals. We also highlight the future opportunities for development of new laser materials. It is believed that this review will provide valuable insights into rational design principles and new paradigm for development of laser materials.
