title: [Spectroscopy performances of Yb3+ doped YAG crystal].
abstract: The absorption and emission properties of Yb:YAG with different Yb3+ doped concentration have been studied systematically. The emission cross section has been evaluated using the absorption cross section and principle of reciprocity, which was consistent with previous reports. The absorption spectra of Yb2+ and color center were observed in as-grown Yb:YAG boules, which are removed by annealing the boules in oxygen at 1,300 degrees C for 24 h. The photon excited and X-ray excited optical luminescence of Yb:YAG were first discussed. The results indicated that Yb:YAG crystal was favourable for high-power diode-pumping.
