Description

Laser crystals of LiYF4 (YLF) doped with 5∼64 at-% of trivalent ytterbium ions (Yb3+) were grown by a vertical Bridgman method. We derived seven energy levels from the 2F7/2 and 2F5/2 manifolds of Yb3+: YLF by the crystal-field analysis from which we explain the observed polarized absorption and emission spectra. The intrinsic broad and complicated spectra of Yb3+: YLF are attributed to the strong coupling of the 4f electrons with lattice vibration of the crystal. (author)
