Abstract

A new series Er:Lu_xGd_1-xVO₄ (x=0.1，0.24，0.48，0.57，0.79 and 0.9)mixed laser crystals have been successfully grown by the Czochralski method with 1% Er³⁺ concentration.The thermal properties of Er:Lu_xGd_1-xVO₄crystals series crystals were investigated systematically, including the thermal expansion, specific heat, thermal diffusion coefficients, and thermal conductivities. The anisotropy and variation of the thermal properties with the component x were also achieved and discussed based on their structure. All the results showed that this mixed crystals should have promising applications in the moderate-power lasers.
