Yb:Lu_xY_1-xPO₄ mixed crystals were firstly grown by the high-temperature solution (or flux) growth process using lead pyrophosphate Pb₂P₂O₇ as the high-temperature solvent. The crystal structure of Yb:Lu_xY_1-xPO₄ mixed crystals was refined at room temperature by using single crystal X-ray diffraction data. Crystal structure analysis showed that Yb:Lu_xY_1-xPO₄ crystals possessed the tetragonal xenotime structure. The polarized absorption spectra were measured at room temperature.
