NONLINEAR OPTICAL CRYSTAL OPTIMIZED FOR YTTERBIUM LASER HOST WAVELENGHTS

摘要

A material for harmonic generation has been made by substitutional changes to the crystal LaCa₄ (BO₃)₃ also known as LaCOB in the form Re1_xRe2_yRe3_zCa₄(B0₃)₃O where Re1 and Re2, (rare earth ion 1 and rare earth ion 2) are selected from the group consisting of Sc, Yttrium, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Th, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu; Re3 is Lanthanum; and x+y+z=1.
