Abstract
The aim of this work is growth of LiCaAlF6:Ce3+ (Ce:LiCAF) crystals by Bridgman technique and study of spectroscopic and laser characteristics in UV spectral range. We report on growth of LiCaAlF6:Ce3+ (1.2â¯at.% in the melt) crystals with refractive index inhomogeneity not worse than Înâ¯=â¯1.2â¯ââ¯10â5. The maximum absorption coefficient of Ce3+ ions appeared to be up to 7â¯cmâ1 and maximum of slope efficiency of laser action as high as 47% in synthesized crystals was achieved.
