Abstract

The thulium-doped yttrium scandate crystal fiber has been obtained by the laser-heated pedestal growth method. The crystal belongs to the bixbyite type, has a cubic structure and crystallizes in the Ia3 space group. The lattice parameters (a=10.224(1) Angstrem) have been determined using the powder X-ray diffraction. Spectral-kinetic measurements have allowed to detect two symmetrically independent optical centers of Tm3+ ions in the crystal fiber. Keywords: bixbyite, optical center, rare-earth ion, laser-heated pedestal growth.
