Abstract :
In this work, the optical absorption, luminescence and Raman spectra of a single Ca0.28Ba0.72Nb2O6:Nd3+ ferroelectric crystal have been measured and compared to those obtained for the self-frequency solid-state laser converter Sr0.61Ba0.39Nb2O6:Nd3+ crystal. The calcium–niobate system displays a much higher transition temperature (∼150 °C) than the strontium–niobate one (∼80 °C) and so it appears as an excellent candidate for a self-frequency converter solid-state laser, more stable to pumping radiation that than based on the strontium–niobate one.
