Abstract

We have investigated the hydrothermal growth of, and spectrally characterized, the lutetium based laser materials Nd:LuAG, Yb:LuAG, and Yb:Lu2O3. Absorption cross-section data are presented for Nd:LuAG at 83, 175, and 295K. Absorption cross-section data was also obtained for Yb:LuAG at 83, 175, and 295K; the 295K data was used to generate emission cross-sections using the method of reciprocity. For Yb:Lu2O3, we present absorption cross-sections at 295K as well as emission cross-sections derived using reciprocity.
