We studied the crystallization region of RbTiOPO4 (RTP) codoped with Nb and Ln (Ln = Er3+ or Yb3+), taking as basis a range of molar ratios of Rb2O−P2O5−TiO2. Significant differences in the critical concentration of Nb2O5 and Ln2O3 when we substituted TiO2 with these oxides where observed. These differences depended on the initial molar ratio of Rb2O−P2O5−TiO2 used in each case. The critical concentrations of the two lanthanides were also different; the critical concentration of Yb2O3 was lower than that of Er2O3 for all compositions. The distribution coefficients and concentration of Ln in the crystals were higher for Yb3+ than for Er3+, comparing similar concentrations in the solution. Single crystals of RTP:(Nb,Er) and RTP:(Nb,Yb) were grown with optical quality, and these were large enough to make spectroscopic characterizations.
