Abstract
Nd3+:Gd1−xLaxCa4O(BO3)3 crystals (where x = 0.16 and 0.33) have been grown successfully by the Czochralski method. The grown Nd3+:Gd1−xLaxCa4O(BO3)3 crystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and spectral analysis. The investigation shows that when the La3+ were partly substituted for the Gd3+ in Nd3+:GdCOB crystals to form Nd3+:Gd1−xLaxCa4O(BO3)3 crystals, the La3+ ion did not affect the basic physical properties of the crystals, but improved the thermal and spectroscopic properties of the crystals, which is helpful to improve the laser performance of Nd3+:GdCOB crystals.
