Abstract

The aim of this work is phase composition and near UV spectroscopic studies of UV active media in fluoride crystals with colquiriite structure, such as Ce3+:LiSr0.8Ca0.2AlF6. Colquiriite structure mixed crystals show higher segregation coefficient of Ce3+ activator ions than common LiCaAlF6 hosts. An important result is based on the fact that this enhancement was achieved for two types of Ce3+ centers in a multisite Ce:LiSr0.8Ca0.2AlF6 system. Thus, it provides a higher gain coefficient for the 5d–4f transitions of Ce3+ ions and it spans a wider continuous wavelength tuning range between 280 and 320nm for tunable Ce:LiSr0.8Ca0.2AlF6 laser systems.
