Inhomogeneous spectral line broadening and site distribution in “mixed” Er:(Sc,Y)
\nErbium-doped “mixed” yttria-scandia (ScxY1-x)2O3 transparent laser ceramics were fabricated by vacuum sintering at 1750 °C from laser-ablated nanoparticles. Their absorption and mid-infrared emission properties were studied. The addition of Sc3+ induces a strong inhomogeneous spectral line broadening, modifies the crystal field and affects the distribution of Er3+ ions over C2 and C3i symmetry sites. Due to their broadband emission properties, Er:(ScxY1-x)2O3 ceramics are appealing for 2.8-μm lasers.\n
