Abstract

Ce-doped and undoped LiCaAlF₆, LiSrAlF₆, LiYF₄, LiLuF₄ and KMgF₃ single crystals were grown by the Czochralski technique under CF₄ atmosphere. The effective distribution coefficients of Ce³⁺ in LiCaAlF₆, LiSrAlF₆, LiYF₄ and LiLuF₄ were determined to be 0.031, 0.028, 0.116 and 0.054, respectively. Laser output energy of 60 mJ and 27mJ were obtained using the grown Ce:LiCaAlF₆ and Ce:LiLuF₄ single crystals, respectively. Undoped LiCaAlF₆ and KMgF₃ single crystals showed a transmission edge at 112 nm and 115 nm, respectively.
