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.

Nd/sub 0.05/Y/sub 0.95/Ca₄O(BO₃)₃(Nd:YCOB) single crystals were grown by the Czochralski method using a iridium crucible under N₂ atmosphere. Optimum growth parameters to get high quality of single crystals were 1.5∼2 mm/hr of growth rate and 10∼20 rpm of rotation rate. The grown crystals were transparent with light purple color and well-developed in cleavage planes. The crystal structure of Nd;YCOB were identified to monoclinic by XRD method. Crystal defects acting as light scattering centers, such as micro-pores, secondary phases, inclusions and cracks were not observed under the He-Ne laser illuminations. Three red, green, blue laser devices for the RGB laser oscillations were designed and then fabricated from the grown Nd:YCOB crystals according to the phase-matching angles of negative type-I which were φ=16.40°, 33.95° and θ=22.59° with the flatness of λ/6 at least, respectively.

Czocharlski pulling method에 의해 성장된 새로운 광학결정 YCOB($YCa_4O(BO_3)_3$)의 파장에 따른 위상 정합 조건을 제시하였으며, Nd:YAG 레이저의 1064nm의 출력을 기본파로 하였을 때 제2조화파 발생 효율을 조사하였다. 또한 $Yb^{3+}$이온과 $Nd^{3+}$ 이온이 도핑된 YCOB의 제2조화파 발생효율을 조사하여 희토류 이온 도핑에 따른 비선형성의 변화를 조사하였다.

융액인상법으로 질소분위기 하에서 $Yb^{3+}$ 이온이 20at% 고용된 $Yb:YCa_4O(BO_3)_3$ (Yb:YCOB) 단결정을 이리듐 도가니를 사용하여 성장시켰다. 양질의 단결정을 성장시키기 위한 인상속도와 회전속도는 각각 1.5∼2 mm/h와 10∼20 rpm이었다. 분광물성 측정 결과, 흡수단이 236 nm에 있었으며, 전형적인 $Yb^{3+}$ 이온의 흡수 스펙트럼이 관찰되었다. Yb:YCOB의 열팽창계수는 320∼650 K의 측정범위에서 결정학적 축 a, b 그리고 c에 대해 12.1×$10^{-6}$ /K, 5.9${\times}10^{-6}$/K, 12.9${\times}10^{-6}$이었다. 비열은 330 K에서 0.162 $cal/g{\cdot}K$이었다.

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.

The interest in the use of borate crystals in ultraviolet(UV) nonlinear optics(NLO) has increased because all solid-stste UV lasers obtained with NLO are in highly demand. Much effort has been spent on developing borates series, such as{{{{ { beta -BaB }_{2 } {O }_{4 }(BBO), {LiB }_{ 3}{O }_{5 }(LBO)}}}} and{{{{{ CsKiB}_{6 }{O }_{10 }(CLBO)}}}} in this decade. Recently another new borate crystals, {{{{{ YCa}_{4 }O({BO }_{3 })_{3}}}}} and{{{{{Gd }_{x }{Y }_{1-x }{Ca }_{4 }O({BO }_{ 3})({Gd }_{x }{Y }_{1-x }COB)}}}} have been developed by the present authors. Here, the growth and NLO properties of YCOB and {{{{ {Gd }_{ x} {Y }_{ 1-x} }}}}CO B crystal are reported and their properties discussed in relation to those of other nonlinear optical crystals, such as LBO.
