We report on the spectroscopic characterization of Tm :KYF(4) and Ho :KYF(4) single crystals. The energy level splittings are given, as well as the Judd-Ofelt parameters, the polarized absorption and emission cross sections and the energy transfer coefficients. This allows to have a deeper understanding of the Tm-Ho-codoped KYF(4) system and shows KYF(4) to be a promising material for widely tunable and efficient 2 µm laser operation.

The goals of this work are to determine the luminescence properties of KYF single crystals doped with different concentrations of Ce ions and to evaluate their possible application as a detector of beta radiation. In particular, thermoluminiscence, radioluminiscence and optically stimulated luminescence properties of KYF: Ce exposed to beta radiation have been studied and very good dosimetric properties have been obtained within the dose range 0.02-20 Gy.

We report the basic luminescence properties and the continuous-wave (CW) laser operation of a Pr(3+)-doped KYF(4) single crystal in the Red and Orange spectral regions by using a new pumping scheme. The pump source is an especially developed, compact, slightly tunable and intra-cavity frequency-doubled diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser delivering a CW output power up to about 1.4 W around 469.

Crystal structures of pure and doped KLnF(4) (Ln = Y, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) grown hydrothermally were studied with synchrotron single-crystal and powder diffraction as a function of temperature and pressure. At atmospheric conditions, KHoF(4) and KErF(4) crystallize in space group P3(1), while KTmF(4), Er:KYbF(4), and KYF(4) crystallize in space group P3(2). In both enantiomorphic structures, the K(+) and Ln(3+) cations are completely ordered.

A comprehensive characterization of the active material and laser performance are reported, with particular attention to single-frequency laser operation. Single longitudinal-mode operation is achieved in the tuning range from 1020 to 1045 nm with a maximum output power of 150 mW.
