  • Abstract
    Single crystal of M phase Yb:YTaO4 was grown by the Czochralski method. Large emission cross-section (1.05times10-20 cm2), wide FWHM of absorption and emission, and long lifetime (0.74 ms), indicate that Yb:YTaO4 is very promising laser crystal used in all solid state ultra-short laser.
