A series of Nd:LuxY1-xVO4 (x = 0.10, 0.26, 0.41, 0.61, 0.67, 0.80) mixed laser crystals were grown and researched systematically, for the first time to our knowledge. Their thermal properties were investigated, including the specific heat,thermal expansion,thermal conductivity and the material constant. Their spectral properties were measured and their spectral parameters were calculated by J-O theory, including the absorptionspectrum,emission spectrum,fluorescence lifetime and emission cross section. In CW laser operation, a maximum output power of 3.1 W was obtained from the Nd:Lu0.10Y0.90VO4 mixed crystal, corresponding to an optical conversion efficiency of 51.7 %, and a slope efficiency of 59.8 %. When Cr:YAG crystal was used as the saturable absorber, passively Q-switched pulse laser operation was achieved for Nd:LuxY1-xVO4 series crystals. The best pulse performance came from Nd:Lu0.10Y0.90VO4 crystal, with the maximum pulse energy of 169 μJ and the highest peak power of 26.4 kW.

COMMUNICATION
Correlation between Bond-Length Change and Vibrational Frequency Shift in Hydrogen-Bonded Complexes Revisited
ZHANG Yu, MA Ning,
College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Luoyang Normal University, Luoyang 471022, Henan Province, P. R. China
Full text:
The correlation between the X―H bond-length change and the corresponding X―H stretching frequency shift upon X ―H&&&Y (Y is an electron donor) hydrogen bond formation is the basis for the spectroscopic detection and investigation of the hydrogen bond. However, this view has been questioned in a recent report, suggesting that the widely accepted correlation between the bond-length change and the frequency shift in hydrogen-bonded complexes is unreliable (McDowell, S. A. C.; Buckingham, A. D. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 15515.). In this work, several robust computational methods have been used to investigate this issue. The results clearly show that a computational artifact leads to the conclusion incorrectly reported by McDowell and Buckingham and that the correlation between the X―H bond-length change and the corresponding X―H stretching frequency shift is still very good in the hydrogen-bonded complexes studied.
