Abstract

K₅Nd(MoO₄)₄ crystals with different Yb³⁺ concentrations were grown using Czochralski technique. Room-temperature absorption spectra were recorded and assigned on the basis of Dieke's diagram for Nd³⁺ ion; the standard Judd-Ofelt theory has been used to analyze the spectra. Increase of Yb³⁺ concentration leads to variation of the corresponding Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters. Significant contribution of the Yb-Nd energy transfer into the formation of the Nd ³⁺ absorption spectra causes the observed changes. After illumination of the crystals with CW Nd:YAG laser changes of the birefringence for the laser line of CW He-Ne laser at 633 nm were studied. Birefringence changes show good correlation with the content of Yb ions.
