Abstract
A series of Ho:LiNbO3 crystals with various concentration of Ho2O3 were grown by Czochralski technique. Transmittance spectrum, absorption spectrum and modified JuddOfelt approach have been used to investigate its spectroscopic properties. Ho concentrations in crystals were analyzed by an inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OE/MS). The results of the spectroscopic analysis of transition strengths for Ho ion in a series of Ho:LiNbO3 crystals with various Ho content are reported. It is concluded that all the Ωλ values of the Ho ion decrease with increasing Ho content. For Ho (4 mol%): LiNbO 3, the obtained intensity parameters and radiative lifetime of the 5I5 level are: Ω2=5.75×10 -20 cm2, Ω4=22.69×10-20 cm2, Ω6=14.10×10-20 cm2, and τ=4.08 ms respectively. The results showed that the Ho 2O3-codoped LiNbO3 crystal increases the Ho ion radiative lifetimes, but has less influence on the fluorescence branching ratio.
