摘要：

三价镨离子(Pr3+)的能级结构及跃迁关系决定了该离子可实现蓝光、绿光、橙光、红光及深红光等多个可见波长的能级跃迁，随着蓝光激光二极管(LD)技术的成熟和商业化应用，利用蓝光LD泵浦掺Pr3+激光增益介质可直接实现可见波段激光输出。该方法具有设计简单、结构紧凑等优点，有利于全固态可见激光器小型化发展，逐渐成为研究热点。本文主要综述了近几年国内外掺Pr3+激光晶体的研究进展和动向，详细地描述了以MoS2等新型二维材料为代表的可见波段光调制器件及其在掺Pr3+氟化物晶体调Q和锁模脉冲激光上的应用，总结和归纳了一套简单的可见锁模光调制器件筛选准则，并展望了掺Pr3+激光晶体在固体可见激光上的应用前景。
