Assessment of structure and spectral characteristics of new laser crystal Nd3+:KBaY(MoO4)3

A view of structure unit of KBaY(MoO4)3 crystal. The spectral properties of KBaY(MoO4)3 crystal have been investigated. It exhibits broad absorption and emission bands, which are caused by its disordered structure and distorted Y(Nd) O8 polyhedron. The spectral properties of Nd3+:KBaY(MoO4)3 crystal with a disordered structure demonstrate a good potential for DPSSL applications.287
