Two-color random laser based on a Nd3þ doped crystalline powder

Resumo

Two-color random laser (RL) emission is demonstrated for the first time in a neodymium (Nd3þ) doped nanocrystalline powder. Emissions at 1063.5 and 1065.1 nm, due to the Nd3þ transition 4 F3/2 -4 I11/2 in NdAl3(BO3)4 nanocrystals, were observed by exciting the powder in resonance with the Nd3þ transition 4 I9/2-4 F5/2, at 811 nm. The dual-wavelength emission is attributed to the radiative decay from two nonequivalent site-symmetries occupied by the Nd3þ in the NdAl3(BO3)4 crystalline structure. The behavior of the Nd3þ emissions versus the samples' temperature indicates the possibility of the RL application as a near infrared optical sensor with a large thermal sensitivity of 0.020 °C1
