The solid laser working substance is composed of a matrix material and active ions, various physical and chemical properties of the solid laser working substance are mainly determined by the matrix material, and spectral characteristics, fluorescence lifetime and the like of the solid laser working substance are determined by the energy level structure of the active ions. Since the successful development of artificial ruby pulsed lasers in 1960, hundreds of laser crystals have been discovered so far, but most of the laser crystal materials cannot be really put into practical use due to the limitations of gain, difficulty in crystal growth, difficulty in incorporation of active ions, poor spectral properties, or poor thermal and mechanical properties. Only ten laser crystals can be really obtained for practical application.
Currently, the most widely used laser crystal is a neodymium ion doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) crystal, which has various better physical and chemical properties and is easy to grow high optical quality and large-size high-quality crystals. However, it has the disadvantage of narrow absorption line and is not suitable for pumping by LD, which will be the development direction of laser pumping source in future.
At present, various high-quality laser crystal materials with excellent physical and chemical properties and mechanical properties, high optical quality and large size are actively searched at home and abroad, and the crystal is suitable for LD pumping. Neodymium ions are widely used as active ions due to their superior spectral properties. The borate crystal has better physical, chemical and mechanical properties, and can easily grow high-quality single crystal, thereby becoming a popular choice for laser matrix materials. Such as crystals of YCOB, GdCOB, YAB, Sr3La(BO3)3The compound being a bisborate M3Ln(BO3)3One of (M ═ Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ln ═ La-Lu, Y) series compounds was initially obtained as a powder by solid-phase synthesis.
