2005 Lasers V 1500 Growth and Spectroscopic Properties of Yb 3+ : Gd 0.5 Y 0.5 Ca 4 O(BO 3 ) 3 Crystal. — A large and transparent crystal of the title compound is grown by the Czochralski method from mixtures of Gd2O3, Y2O3, Yb2O3, CaCO3, and B2O3 and characterized by UV/VIS spectroscopy. Compared to other Yb 3+ -doped oxoborate crystals, the sample exhibits a large absorption cross-section and longer lifetime. It is expected to become a potential diode-pumping laser host material. — (ZHANG, Y.; LIN, Z.; HU, Z.; WANG*, G.; J. Alloys Compd. 390 (2005) 1-2, 194-196; Fujian Inst. Res. Struct. Matter, Chin.
