摘要: We report on, to the best of our knowledge, first growth, spectroscopy, and laser operation monocrystalline Ba(Y0.8Lu0.2)2F8 doped with 1.25 at.% Pr3+ ions (Pr:BYLF). studied spectroscopic properties this material, particularly in comparison its isomorph Pr3+: BaY2F8 (Pr:BYF). Under diode-pumped excitation, we achieved continuous-wave orange, red, deep red regions three possible crystal orientations. obtained considerably improved performances remarkably low passive losses, Pr:BYF crystals other fluorides, indicating that Pr:BYLF is an excellent host material visible region.
