The state-of-art of Yb3+-doped inorganic materials will be presented due to strong interests
in basics research and applied research. 4f13 configuration will be illustrated by few …

Functional crystals are the basic materials for the development of modern science and
technology and are playing key roles in the modern information era. In this paper, we review …

Given its specific thermal characteristics, the sesquioxide crystal Lu_2O_3 is a particularly
promising laser host material. We demonstrate mode locking of a Yb: Lu_2O_3 laser by use …

Nanopowders of Yb-doped calcium fluoride were obtained by three different ways:
mechanical alloying, reverse micelle method and co-precipitation. Transmission electron …

Abstract Ca 1− X Yb XF 2+ X crystals were grown by two different methods: simple melting
under CF 4 atmosphere and the laser heated pedestal growth (LHPG) method under Ar …

Abstract A Yb3+: Sr2La0· 667 (VO4) 2 crystal with dimensions 18× 15× 30 mm3 has been
grown by the Czochralski method. The absorption cross-section is 1· 45× 10− 20 cm2 at 976 …

Passive mode locking of the Yb: Sc_2O_3 laser is demonstrated. We investigate the laser
performance with Ti: sapphire and diode-laser pum**. The laser is mode locked by use of …

The absorption and fluorescence spectra, as well as fluorescence decay kinetics of Yb3+ ion
in disordered scheelite-like double molybdates Yb: NaGd (MoO4) 2 and Yb: NaLa (MoO4) 2 …

YLiF4 (YLF) single crystals undoped and Yb3+-doped with different concentrations were
grown by the Czochralski technique under CF4 atmosphere. Detailed analysis of Yb3+ …

Spectroscopic properties of Yb3+ ion in LuLiF4 (LLF) laser host are presented here for the
first time. Czochralski technique was used to grow undoped and Yb3+-doped LLF single …
