HIGH ENERGY CRYSTALLINE LASER MATERIALS
Abstract
A potential high energy laser material, GdAlO3 doped with chromium, is discussed in terms of its growth problems and spectroscopic characteristics. Crystals were successfully pulled from the melt. The fluorescence of Cr(3+) has an 18 msec decay time and a broad R-line. The width and structure of the R- lines are theoretically described as due to the ferromagnetic exchange interactions with neighboring Gd(3+) ions.
