Rare earth doped lithium lutetium fluoride (RE:LiLuF4)

Rare earth doped lithium Lutetium(III) fluoride crystal (RE: LiLuF4) is a crystal containing rare earth elements, such as erbium, thulium or holmium, which are added to the matrix of lithium and Lutetium(III) fluoride. It is known for its excellent optical and spectral properties, making it a popular material for various applications. RE: LiLuF4 crystal has tetragonal structure and belongs to Space group I41/a. The lattice is composed of alternating layers of LiF and LuF4, with rare earth ions occupying interstitial positions in the lattice. Rare earth ions serve as activators to introduce optical and spectral properties into crystals. It has low nonlinear refractive index and thermal optical constant, Negative refraction index temperature coefficient, can offset thermal distortion, and can output high beam quality laser. LLF crystals doped with trivalent rare earth ions have high optical storage capacity. Compared with YAG crystal, LLF crystal has higher Slope efficiency, lower threshold, lower phonon energy and longer fluorescence lifetime. Due to the unique optical and spectral properties of RE: LiLuF4 crystal and its potential applications in various fields, its future demand is expected to increase. Researchers are exploring new methods to improve crystal performance and develop new applications, such as Quantum information processing and communication. The development of new preparation technologies and the use of new rare earth ions are expected to further improve the property of crystals and expand their application scope.
