Contract Crystal Growth and Fabrication Services

Abstract

This program is intended to give the scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory the ability to evaluate new solid state laser crystals. The five crystals grown were gadolinium scandium gallium garnet (GSGG) doped with erbium and/or thulium. The presumed congruent composition for undoped GSGG is GD2. 96Sc1.9Ga3.14O12. If it is assumed that the distribution coefficients are unity then the crystal compositions will be the same. Keywords: Solid state lasers, Crystal structure, Crystal growth, Fabrication, Gadolinium, Scandium, Gallium, Garnet, Erbium, Thulium.
