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.
