Abstract :
Summary form only given. In search for novel photonic materials, we have grown and characterized manganese doped CaYAlO/sub 4/ crystals. This material is relevant to Mn:YaIO/sub 3/, a promising material for holographic data storage. Luminescence of Mn ions can make this material potentially interesting for tunable laser applications. Additionally, spectroscopic studies of Mn ions in this crystal may help in understanding properties of colossal magneto-resistance materials. In this work, using the Czochralski technique, we have grown several manganese doped CaYAlO/sub 4/ crystals and characterized their optical absorption, emission, and EPR properties.
