Abstract
The influence of Er3+ ions on the spectra of Yb3+, Er3+: Sc2SiO5 (SSO) single crystal, which was obtained by Czochralski (Cz) method, is discussed. The absorption coefficient at 980 nm was 13.36 cm−1 with a peak absorption cross-section of 1.46 × 10−20 cm2. The emission cross-sections at 1034 nm and 1062 nm were 5.5 × 10−21 cm2 and 4.9 × 10−21 cm2, respectively. The fluorescence lifetime was estimated as 1.24 ms at 1061 nm. The mechanical properties of SSO single crystal were also presented.
