Title: Crystal Growth and Characterization of Epitaxial Layers of Laser and Nonlinear Optical Materials for Thin-Disk and Waveguide laser applications

Journal Article · · Optical Materials
OSTI ID:1042314

This paper summarizes the main results we obtained in our laboratories in relation with crystalline layers obtained by liquid phase epitaxial growth of lanthanide doped KLu(WO{sub 4}){sub 2} and Nb:RbTiOPO{sub 4} grown on KLu(WO{sub 4}){sub 2} and RbTiOPO{sub 4} substrates, respectively. Macroscopic defect free epitaxial layers were grown and characterized in terms of their compositional homogeneity, structural stress in the layer/substrate interface and laser and waveguiding performances.
