Growth, optical and thermal properties of YbxSm1-xCa4O(BO3)3 crystals
YbxSm1-xCOB (x = 0.1, 0.2) crystals were grown by the Bridgman method for the first time. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the application prospect of Yb:SmCOB crystal in quasi-parametric chirped pulse amplification (QPCPA) and frequency-doubling laser. The phase structure, thermal properties and optical properties of Yb:SmCOB were studied, and the density of states of SmCOB crystal was calculated by first-principles. The effective segregation coefficient Keff of Yb0.1Sm0.9COB and Yb0.2Sm0.8COB crystals are 0.89 and 0.88, respectively. The thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of Yb:SmCOB decrease with increasing temperature. The specific heat increases with the increase of temperature and eventually tends to be constant. The specific heat of Yb:SmCOB crystal is greater than 0.70 J/(g·K) at room temperature. The transmittance of Yb:SmCOB crystal reaches 87 % in the range of 500 ∼ 900 nm. With the increase of Yb3+ doping concentration, the UV absorption cut-off edge is red shifted. The frequency doubling emission peak of Yb:SmCOB crystal at 490 nm was measured by 980 nm laser. Yb:SmCOB has the characteristics of high transmittance and high specific heat, and has application potential in laser frequency doubling and QPCPA.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
