Yb:YAP Scintillator A Promising Laser Crystal for Diode-Pumped Solid-State Lasers

Yb YAP Scintillation Crystal
In recent years, Yb 3+-doped crystals have attracted a great deal of attention with the rapid development of diode pumped solid-state laser (DPSSL).  has demonstrated many attractive characteristics, such as longer lifetimes, higher polarized cross-sections, lower thermal load, very short fluorescence decays and high laser energy capacity. It is a very promising laser crystal in laser-diode-pumped solid-state configurations and neutrino detection. Because of the simple electronic structure of Yb 3+ion, which consists of only two levels, such unfavorable processes like excited state absorption, up-conversion or cross-relaxation are absent in Yb3+lasers.
Yb YAP Scintillation Crystal
Yb 3+-doped crystals are an attractive gain medium for diode-pumped solid-state lasers. Perovskite-like yttrium aluminate, YAlO 3 (YAP) crystals have good optical, thermodynamic and mechanical properties, and have become a research hotspot in laser diode pumped solid-state laser gain media. Yb:YAP produces a linearly polarized laser and is a promising laser crystal for diode-pumped solid-state lasers. The optical absorption loss of the host can be reduced resulting from the broad energy gap of the Y 2O 3 material system, so that the Yb:YAP crystal may be a potential laser material for realizing 2.8–3.1μm lasers. At present, the detection of neutrinos is a hot spot in physics, where YAP crystals with high Yb doping concentration are very promising. Moreover, Compared with YAG, single crystals of YAP could be grown faster at a lower temperature, with smaller cores and more favorable distribution coefficients for rare-earth dopants.

Pockels Cells Crystal

1. Pockels Cells Based on the electro-optic effect , when the applied electric area acts on the Pockels cell crystal ( electro-optic crystal ), the Pockels cell crystal (electro-optic crystal) is like a wave plate whose phase delay is related to the used electric field. The polarization state of the outbound light from the Pockels cell crystal will certainly change so that the strength as well as amplitude of the outbound light from the analyzer are regulated, which is electro-optic inflection, and the modulation tool is called a Pockels cell. 2. Pockels cell crystal The crystals that produce the electro-optical effect are called Pockels cell crystals, that is, electro-optical crystals. They each have their benefits. Presently, the major Pockels cell crystals on the marketplace consist of BBO crystals , DKDP crystals , KTP crystals , as well as LN (LiNbO3) crystals . (1) BBO crystal BBO crystal , additionally called barium metaborate crystal, chemical formula BaB2O4, is an electro-opt
