Electron-oscillatory spectra of yttrium-erbium-aluminum garnet of crystals and their role in laser pumping
Abstract
Pumping of an erbium laser with (Y1-x)Er(x))3A15O12 crystals was investigated. It was found that narrow electron lines in the spectra of (Y1-xEr(x))3Al5O12 crystals are accompanied by comparatively weak electron oscillatory transitions were compared with infrared spectroscopy and Raman scattering data, indicating that the extent of the electron-oscillatory transition region is the same as that of the oscillatory spectrum for (Y(1-xEr(x))3Al5O12 crystals, and that the many frequency differences between the electron lines and maxima in the electron oscillatory tail coincide with the IR and Raman scattering active frequencies of the center of the Brillouin zone.
