Optical Properties and Lasing of Ti3+ Doped BeAl2O4

Abstract
The absorption and photoluminescence spectra of Ti3+ doped chrysoberyl (BeAl2O4) were studied, as well as its lasing operation. The photoluminescence spectrum of Ti:BeAl2O4 has two peaks at 750 nm and 850 nm and the lifetime of both these lines is 5.0 µs, which is longer than that of Ti3+ doped sapphire (Al2O3). With an excitation power of 15 mJ, lasing wavelength was 803±20 nm and the pulse duration was less than 80 ns.
