摘要

The Yb3+: BaGd2(MoO4)(4) crystal was grown by the Czochralski method and investigated. The absorption and emission spectra reveal that this crystal can be efficiently excited by a commercial laser diode (LD) around 970 nm and its strongest fluorescent peak locates at 1013 nm. Besides, a significant frequency-doubling effect and a Raman effect of the crystal were observed in the experiment, which reveals that the rare-earth (RE) ions doped BaGd2(MoO4)(4) crystal has the potential to generate the self-frequency-doubling laser and selfRaman laser simultaneously.
