Abstract
LiF is a nonhygroscopic alkali halide crystal which possesses good optical and physical properties, and can host different species of colour centres at room temperature. Colour centres in LiF present broad absorption and emission bands in the near UV, visible and near IR regions of the spectrum. In this paper we study spectroscopic properties of colour centres produced in LiF by ultrashort laser pulses. The absorption and emission properties of these materials were measured showing that during the irradiation F, F2, F2+, F3+ and F2− colour centres were created in the crystals. A colour centres formation dose-like curve as a function of the ultrashort pulse energy was determined using fluorescence spectroscopy.
