Tunable color center lasers making use of electron trapping defects such as F A and F + 2 like centers in alkali halide crystals can deliver broadly tunable power over the near infrared 0.8—4.0μm range.The tunable range and their impressive feature of narrow linewidth make these solid state lasers important to molecular spectroscopy,pollution detection,fiber optics communication and other scientific research fields.The( F + 2) H center consisting of an F + 2 center and an neibouring O 2- ion,is one of the most important color centers.In this paper,we will study the preparation,absorption and emission spectra of the ( F + 2) H center in mixed crystal KCl KBr∶OH -. Single crystals of KCl,KBr and different compositions of KCl x Br 1-x solid solutions are growtn with 0.1mol%—0.3mol% KOH in the melt by the Czochralski technique in air.
