Spinel crystals are effective material for Q-switch lasers, performing at 1.3 and 1.54 ìm. They are grown using Czochralski technique what gives possibility to operate by technological process and to get high optical quality samples with uniform distribution of
Co2+ along diameter and length of crystals. |
