High Pressure Properties of Some Laser Materials

  • Chapter
Spectroscopy of Solid-State Laser-Type Materials

Abstract

Some recent results on the effects of hydrostatic pressure on laser materials are briefly described. Ruby-type laser materials show similar red shifts of the R — lines, but in addition drastic changes in the intensities of satellite lines and/or in the intensities of the quartet 4T2 band versus the doublet 2E emission are found. In the case of vibronic bands, changes in the Huang-Rhys coupling constant occur and this effect is usually larger than the shift of the individual vibronic lines. In addition, in the case of GaAs:Cr for instance, new bands appear when pressure is applied, either in absorption or in emission spectra. Effects of pressure on the band gap variation in semi-conductors are also reviewed.
