Description

Pr3+-doped YAlO3 (YAP) single crystal was successfully grown by the Czochralski (Cz) method. Polarized absorption and polarized fluorescence spectra were measured at the room temperature. The spectroscopic parameters based on the polarized absorption spectra were calculated by Judd-Ofelt (J-O) theory for the first time. The fluorescence lifetime of 3P0 energy level was fitted to be 19.16 μs with the quantum efficiency of 95.8%. Through the analyzing of the spectroscopic properties, Pr:YAP crystal was demonstrated to be a promising candidate for solid state laser operation.
