脉冲激光具有大能量、短脉宽和高峰值功率的特性,在军事和民用领域具有很多重要的需求和应用。大能量存储能力和宽光谱的激光材料是脉冲激光的理想选择。无序激光晶体结合了玻璃和晶体的特性,具有重要的应用前景。本文总结了石榴石和黄长石类无序激光晶体的生长、基本物理性能和脉冲激光应用进展,指出了该类晶体在脉冲激光技术及器件发展中的潜在应用价值及发展方向。
Pulsed lasers have important applications in military and in our daily life, due to their large ener- gy, short pulse width and high peak power. The laser crystals with large energy storage properties and broad spectra are favorable by pulsed lasers. Disordered crystals combining the advantages of glass and crystals have promising applications in the pulsed laser field. In this paper, the garnet and melilite disorder- ed crystals are reviewed including their crystal growth, basic physical properties and pulsed laser perform- ance, and their potential values and possible development directions in the pulsed lasers are highlighted.
