Abstract: | Lutetium gadolinium oxyorthosilicates (LGSO, (LuxGd1-x)2SiO5, x = 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5)) were obtained by the Laser Floating Zone (LFZ) in air at 10 mm/h, much faster than those produced by the standard Czochralski method. The LGSO fibres were structural and optically characterized. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS) allowed observing homogeneous monophasic crystalline fibres that obey the expected phase transition from P21/c to C2/c monoclinic structures, as revealed by X-Ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Finally, transmission studies in the near UV to visible range allowed to quantify the transmission and to appraise the presence of energy transfer bands that favor their use as host materials in photonic applications. |
