Epitaxial neodymium-doped sapphire films, a new active medium for waveguide lasers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Epitaxial films of neodymium-doped sapphire have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on R-, A-, and M-plane sapphire substrates. The emission spectrum features sharp lines consistent with single-site doping of the Nd3+ ion into the host crystal. This material is believed to be a nonequilibrium phase, inaccessible by conventional high-temperature growth methods. Neodymium-doped sapphire has a promising lasing line at 1096nm with an emission cross section of 11.9×1019cm2, similar to the 1064nm line of Nd:YVO4.
