Abstract

In this work, the energy transfer parameters W11 and W22 between Er3+ ions in mixed BaY1.8Lu0.2F8 crystals were determined within the Förster–Dexter theory for a three-level scheme including only the up-conversion processes from the upper and lower laser levels (4I11/2 and 4I13/2). The energy transfer constant CDA and the critical radius R0 were also determined. For the scheme including the up-conversion processes from the upper and lower laser levels, a system of rate equations was constructed to estimate the population distribution of excited states and the gain for pulsed pumping of different powers. With a pump wavelength of 970 nm, a pump pulse duration of 10 ms, a pulse repetition rate of 10 Hz and a pump power of 4 W, the gain of 0.05 cm–1 was obtained for a sample with an Er3+ ion concentration of 30 at %.
