Descripció
Onoclinic double tungstate (DT) crystals doped with RE ions are recognized as relatively new and very promising materials for solid state lasers operating at room temperature, both in pulsed and continuous-wave mode. Their low laser threshold, high efficiency, and third-order nonlinear effects stimulate research towards miniaturized lasers and amplifiers. Due to their high refractive indices on the order of 2.0, they are quite suitable for the fabrication of integrated optical devices.

In this talk, the crystal growth of bulk and epitaxial layer of DT shall be presented and the recent progress in nanostructuration for photonic applications will be introduced.
