✦ Synopsis
Thin YAG
(Y~3~Al~5~O~12~) and YAP (YAlO~3~) films doped with Er content were
grown by sub-picosecond (450 fs) KrF laser deposition from
crystalline Er: YAG and Er: YAP laser rods. The influence of laser
power density, substrate temperature, target- substrate distance
and deposition ambient atmosphere (vacuum or oxygen) was studied.
Results of morphological, compositional, structural and
luminescence analysis are presented. Crystalline films have been
obtained even for low substrate temperature. Luminescence
corresponding to Er^+3^ ions was observed for all
the samples.
