Abstract

Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) luminescence from a Nd³⁺:(La_1-x,Ba_x)F_3-x (x=0.1) and a Nd³⁺:LaF₃ single crystal grown by the micro-pulling-down method modified for fluoride crystal growth is discussed. Emission resulting from excitation with 157 nm pulses of a F₂ laser and by 290 nm femtosecond pulses of a Ti:sapphire laser show that the luminescence spectral and temporal characteristics are similar for both excitation cases and that they have good prospects as a VUV laser material.
