Cr{sup 3+}{r_arrow}Nd{sup 3+} energy transfer and Nd{sup 3+} laser action studies of La{sub 3}Ga{sub 5}SiO{sub 14}:Cr{sup 3+}:Nd{sup 3+} co-doped crystal
Abstract
Energy transfer between Cr{sup 3+} and Nd{sup 3+} ions has been investigated in the 4.2--300-K temperature range by using steady-state and site-selective time-resolved laser spectroscopy. Radiative and nonradiative energy transfer has been studied from the time-resolved emission spectra and the donor fluorescence decays. The transfer efficiency was calculated as a function of temperature by using the Cr{sup 3+} lifetimes of the single doped and co-doped samples. Laser experiments were carried out in a diffusive cavity by pumping a co-doped rod 54 mm long and 5 mm in diameter with Xenon flashlamps. The laser spectral emission shows a complex structure which varies as a function of pump energy. The temporal evolution of the laser spectrum is discussed in terms of a simple four-level spectral rate-equation laser model which takes into account the existence of two main broad Nd{sup 3+} site distributions with a large spectral overlap.
