title: Optical spectroscopy of Yb(3)Al(5)O(12) single crystal.
abstract: Yb(3)Al(5)O(12) single crystal has been grown by Czochralski (CZ) method. The absorption spectrum was investigated at low temperature and the electronic energy levels for (2)F(5/2) multiplet of Yb(3+) in YbAG was proposed. The up-conversion emission of the crystal under 940 nm diode pumping and the X-ray excited luminescence (XEL) features of the crystal were also studied.
