研究了Ni^2+掺杂近化学计量比铌酸锂(Ni^2+:SLN)晶体的近红外发光特性。用980nm LD光激发,Ni^2+:SLN单晶的近红外发光中心位于1087nm,荧光峰半高宽约为72nm。晶体荧光衰减特性的测定结果表明,其室温荧光寿命为-240μs。晶体的近红外的宽带发光,源于Ni^2+离子八面体格位的。^3T2g(^3F)→A2g(^3F)能级跃迁。
The near-infrared luminescence properties of Ni^2+ doped the near-stoichiometric LiNbO3 (SLN) single crystals have been investigated. Under a laser diode excitation source at 980nm, a near-infrared luminescence in Ni^2+:SLN single crystals centers at 1087 nrn with its FWHM about 72 nm was found. The fluorescence decay properties of crystal were measured, and the fluorescence lifetime of Ni^2+:SLN single crystals was as long as 240 μs even at room temperature. The observed near-infrared fluorescence can be attributed to the ^3T2g(^3F)→^3 A2g(^3F) transition of Ni^2+ in octahedral sites.
