Abstract

Optical spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy have been used to investigate Yb³⁺-doped yttrium, lutetium and scandium oxyorthosilicate crystals (Y₂SiO₅ (YSO), Lu₂SiO₅ (LSO) and Sc₂SiO₅ (SSO)). Yb³⁺ Energy levels diagram are presented. In the three hosts, Yb³⁺ ions experience high crystal field strength, particularly in Yb:SSO. Absorption and emission cross sections are presented giving insight of the laser potentials of these hosts. As Yb:YSO has already presented very good laser performances, it appears that the Yb:LSO which presents comparable spectroscopic parameters is also an attractive host for laser oscillation in the 1 um laser range.
