摘要/Abstract

摘要： 波长位于570~590 nm的黄光激光在流式细胞检测、钠导星信标、眼科手术治疗等前沿领域具有重要应用价值。采用蓝光激光二极管直接泵浦Dy³⁺掺杂晶体产生黄光激光,是一种结构简单、高效紧凑且稳定性高的全固态黄光激光器设计方案。但Dy³⁺掺杂黄光激光晶体研究主要集中于低声子能量的氟化物,对高声子能量的氧化物晶体探索较少。本研究采用光学浮区法成功生长出高质量的Dy³⁺单掺及Dy³⁺、Tb³⁺共掺杂的Y₂SiO₅ (YSO)晶体,测试了两种晶体的透过光谱和拉曼光谱,并详细研究了Dy:YSO和Dy,Tb:YSO晶体中的黄光发射和能量转移过程。结果显示,与单掺Dy:YSO相比,Dy,Tb:YSO晶体在450 nm处的蓝光吸收截面从1.75×10^-21 cm²提高至2.21×10^-21 cm²,在574 nm处的黄光发射截面从3.45×10^-21 cm²提升至4.32×10^-21 cm²。利用共掺Tb³⁺离子作为退激活离子,Dy³⁺的⁶H_13/2能级到Tb³⁺的⁷F₄能级的能量转移效率为50.7%,使Dy³⁺的⁶H_13/2下能级的寿命缩短至202.9 µs,有利于实现粒子数反转,获得黄光激光输出。本研究结果表明,Dy,Tb:YSO晶体是一种具有研究价值和应用潜力的黄光激光增益介质。

Abstract: Yellow laser sources in the range of 570-590 nm have many important applications in the frontier fields such as flow cytometry, sodium guide star, and ophthalmic surgery. Yellow laser output by blue laser diode pumped Dy³⁺-doped crystals is a promising technology with advantages of high efficiency, compactness, and high power stability. However, Dy³⁺-doped laser crystals mainly focused on low-phonon-energy fluorides, while the high-phonon-energy oxides were rarely studied. Herein, high-quality Dy³⁺-doped and Dy³⁺, Tb³⁺ co-doped Y₂SiO₅ (YSO) crystals were grown by the optical floating zone method. The yellow emission and energy transfer processes in Dy:YSO and Dy,Tb:YSO crystals were investigated. Compared with Dy:YSO, the absorption cross-section of Dy,Tb:YSO at 450 nm increases from 1.75×10^-21 cm² to 2.21×10^-21 cm², and the yellow emission cross-section at 574 nm increases from 3.45×10^-21 cm² to 4.32×10^-21 cm². In addition, the co-doped Tb³⁺ ions act as deactivator ions and the energy transfer efficiency from ⁶H_13/2 level of Dy³⁺ to ⁷F₄ level of Tb³⁺ is 50.7%. As a result, the lifetime of Dy³⁺ lower level is greatly shortened to 202.9 µs, which is favorable for population inversion and yellow laser output. These results indicate that Dy,Tb:YSO crystal is a promising yellow laser gain medium.
