Abstract

Yb3+-doped single-crystal Ca3Y2(BO3)4 with dimension φ20 × 55 mm was grown by the Czochralski method. The structure of it was determined by x-ray diffraction. It belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group Pnma, with the following parameters: a= 7.1690(4), b = 15.4758(8), c = 8.5587(6) Å, V = 949.55(10)Å3, Mr = 537.51, Z = 2, Dc = 3.8 g/cm3, (MoKa) = 0.71073 Å, F(000) = 508, μ = 6.927 mm-1, final R = 0.0670, and wR = 0.1542 for 2975 independent reflections. The structure of Yb:Ca3Y2(BO3)4 is made up of three set of M-oxygen distorted polyhedrons, and three set of BO3 planar triangles. Ca2+ and Y3+ ions occupy three M sites statistically. Yb3+ ions substitute Y3+ ions to enter these three lattices. The adsorption and emission spectra were measured. It exhibits a broad absorption band ranging from 850 to 1000 nm in the absorption spectrum, which is well matched with the emission wavelength of a laser diode. A broad emission spectrum ranging from 927.95 to 1102.7 nm was observed under the excitation of 895 nm.
