Abstract

In order to obtain new, more efficient tunable laser materials for diode laser-pumping, a laser host material with broad absorption and emission bands is very important. This paper reports on the growth, structure and spectral properties of Cr3+:LiMgAl(MoO4)3 crystals. The Cr3+:LiMgAl(MoO4)3 crystals were grown using the top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method from a flux of Li2Mo3O10. The LiMgAl(MoO4)3 crystals crystallize in a triclinic symmetry with the space group P and have a highly disordered structure. The investigated spectral properties indicated that the Cr3+-doped LiMgAl(MoO4)3 crystals exhibited broad absorption and emission bands which are attributed to locally disordered environments around the Cr3+ centers. The spectral properties suggested that Cr3+-doped LiMgAl(MoO4)3 crystals are a potential candidate for a tunable laser crystal material.
