Strong visible and near infrared luminescence in undoped YAG single crystals

Strong luminescence peaks were observed at 700 and 800 nm in undoped yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) single crystals. They were attributed to low level of iron impurities as confirmed by Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry analysis. The 800 nm was only excited by high energy band at 270 nm; the reason be...
