Abstract
The invention provides an ytterbium-doped gadolinium yttrium aluminum garnet crystal and a growth method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of photoelectron materials. The existing Yb:Y3Al5O12 crystal is low in doping concentration and low in doping uniformity and has less possibility of achieving high-power laser output when serving as a laser material. According to the existing Yb:Y3Al5O12 crystal growth method, the Yb:Y3Al5O12 has a high smelting point of 1,950 DEG C, so that the volatilization amount of yttrium in an yttrium crucible is large, the side effect is high, the quality of the crystal is poor, and the size is small. The molecular formula of the ytterbium-doped gadolinium yttrium aluminum garnet crystal is Yb:Y2GdAl5O12, and the crystal base is yttrium aluminum garnet. According to the growth method of the ytterbium-doped gadolinium yttrium aluminum garnet crystal, the growth material comprises yttrium oxide (Y2O3), gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) at a chemical metering ratio of 2:1:5; after x moles of ytterbium oxide is added into the growth material, the adding amount of the Gd2O2 is required to be reduced by (1-x) mole on the basis of the chemical metering ratio; and the growth process parameters of the crystal are determined as follows: the pull speed is between 0.5 and 0.8 mm/h, the rotation speed is between 12 and 18 rpm and the growth temperature is 1,880 DEG C.
