Role of Yb2+ in Yb:CaF2 for Lasing and Optical Refrigeration

Hiroki Tanaka, Stefan Püschel, Christian Kränkel

We investigated the influence of Yb2+ on the spectroscopic properties of Yb:CaF2. A strong nonradiative decay of Yb3+ was observed in an Yb2+-rich crystal, so Yb2+ is highly detrimental for lasing and optical refrigeration.
