Abstract

Polarized visible and near-infrared emission characteristics of 488 nm pumped vapor transport equilibrated (VTE) treated Er:LiNbO3 crystals were investigated in comparison with the corresponding as-grown ones. Three relatively strong emission peaks around 1530, 1545, and 1560 nm, which corresponded to the transitions from three sublevels of 4I13/2 manifold to the ground state, were monitored. The observed characteristics of VTE crystal included the retained polarization dependence, slight shift of peak position, and appearance of additional emission peak near 1536.5 nm.
