Abstract :
This study reports on the 2-dimensional growth of Yb:YAG and YbAG pulsed laser deposited (PLD)-films on YAG, which is monitored by RHEED measurements in situ during growth. The properties of the films after growth are investigated by means of XRD, AFM and optical spectroscopy. Films highly textured in the orientation defined by the substrate are obtained.
