This paper reports the growth and spectral assessments of Yb3+ ion doped MgMoO4 (Yb3+:MgMoO4) crystal grown by the TSSG method. Polarized spectral properties of Yb3+:MgMoO4 crystal, including absorption and emission cross-sections, absorption FWHM and fluorescence lifetime, have been investigated. The laser performance parameters min, Isat and Imin have also been evaluated. All the investigated results show the Yb3+-doped MgMoO4 crystal is expected as a promising candidate for ultrashort pulse and tunable lasers.
