Abstract Single crystal Er:LuAl$_{3}$(BO$_{3}$) (Er:LuAB) is successfully grown using the top-seeded solution growth method with a $K_{2}$Mo$_{3}$O$_{10}$ flux. The cell parameters of the grown crystal are estimated by an x-ray single crystal diffactometor and x-ray powder diffraction analysis. The result indicates that it still belongs to the space group $R32$. The obtained unit-cell parameters are $a=9.2793(19)$ Å, $c=7.210(3)$ Å, $V=537.65(27)$ Å$^{3}$, and $Z=3$. The absorption spectrum is measured at room temperature. The spectroscopy properties are investigated based on the Judd–Ofelt (J-O) theory, and the effective J-O parameters were calculated to be ${\it \Omega}_{2}=8.33\times10^{-20}$, ${\it \Omega}_{4}= 3.83\times10^{-20}$, and ${\it \Omega}_{6}=3.55\times10^{-20}$. The emission spectra of Er:LuAB crystal at room temperature are also studied and the $^{4}I_{11/2}\to {}^{4}I_{13/2}$ fluorescence around 3170 nm is observed. The emission cross section calculated by the F-L formula is $8.6\times10^{-20}$ cm$^{2}$. These results suggest that the Er:LuAB crystal may be a promising $\sim$3 μm laser material.
