Optical characteristics of $YCOB(YCa_4B_3O_{10})$, known as a crystal of self frequency doubling, was investigated when Yb and Er ions were co-doped 20 % and 2 %, respectively. The absorption cross section of Er,Yb:YCOB crystal at $1.0\;{\mu}m$ was larger than that of Yb:YCOB, which means that the former was profitable for more energy absorption than the latter. The fluorescent lifetime at $1.5\;{\mu}m$ was measured to be 1.27 ms at room temperature, and lengthened to 1.54 ms and 1.62 ms at low temperatures of 77 K and 6 K, respectively. The line widths of fluorescent spectrum at $1.5\;{\mu}m$ were getting narrower as lowering temperature. However, we didn't observe a temperature dependent peak wavelength shift.

Single crystals of Yttrium Calcium Oxyborate (YCOB) doped with different concentrations of Er3+ and Yb3+ ions were growth by Czochralski method. High qualities of crystals in morphology and transparency were obtained . Analysis on crystal structure and lattice parameters were performed by X-ray diffraction method. It was found that congruent melting composition is YCA4.2O1.2(BO3)3. Absorption and fluorescence properties of grown crystals were also reported.
