The roomtemperature absorption spectra of Tm:LSO crystal are measured on a b-cut sample with 4 at.% thulium. According to the obtained Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Ω2=9.3155×10^-20 cm^2, Ω4=8.4103×10^-20 cm^2, Ω6=1.5908×10^-20 cm^2, the fluorescence lifetime is calculated to be 2.03 ms for ^3F4 → ^3H6 transition, and the integrated emission cross section is 5.81×10^-18 cm^2. Room-temperature laser action near 2μm under diode pumping is experimentally evaluated in Tm:LSO. An optical-optical conversion efficiency of 9.1% and a slope efficiency of 16.2% are obtained with continuouswave maximum output power of 0.67 W. The emission wavelengths of Tm:LSO laser are centred around 2.06μm with spectral bandwidth of -13.6 nm.展开更多

The relationship between energy transfer and scintillation properties was established. It is revealed that there are mainly three energy transfer types in the crystal i.e. host → Ce1/Ce2/STEs, Ce1 →Ce2 and STEs → Ce1/Ce2. The influence of Y content of the LYSO crystals on the energy transfer efficiency of the above processes was carefully analyzed. Besides, we find a special component of the crystal i.e. Y content = 45 at% at which the energy resolution and light output of the crystal perform the worst.展开更多
