Abstract

The effect of Er3+ doped ion concentration on optical properties of two type three-level schemes in 35 nm Er3+:YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) crystal is studied. It is found that intensity threshold of optical bistability and multistability can be changed by Er3+ doped ion concentration. Moreover, switching from optical multistability to optical bistability can be done differently by Er3+ concentration in two types of three-level schemes. The steady-state and transient behaviors of absorption, dispersion and group index of weak probe field in two schemes are also discussed. In this study, we will report an initial study on optical properties in Er3+:YAG crystal and propose a basis for selecting the suitable concentration to carry out experimental investigations in the future.
