Disponível em: http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/17963.http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/17963The growth of single crystal fibers of LiYF4 (YLF) doped with Er3+ was studied through the resistive micro-pulling-down (µ-PD) technique. The growth chamber was modified to achieve vacuum of approximately 10-7torr. Single crystal fibers of YLF: Er (1, 10 and 20 mol %), with 0.7 mm of diameter and up to 120mm of length were grown. The use of a static atmosphere was found to be inappropriate for elimination of spurious contamination from growth environment for this experimental setup.closedAccesscrystal growthlithium fluorideserbiumfibersTexto completo de evento10.1088/1742-6596/249/1/012044
