A new kind of 5 at% Yb‐doped Lu 0.5 Y 0.5 PO 4 crystals were firstly grown by spontaneously nucleated high‐temperature solution method using lead pyrophosphate (Pb 2 P 2 O 7 ) as the solvent. The X‐ray powder diffraction (XRPD) patterns recorded at room temperature showed the crystals possessed tetragonal xenotime structure. The polarized absorption spectra and the fluorescence spectra of Yb:Lu x Y 1‐x PO 4 were measured at room temperature, respectively. The results show that Yb:Lu x Y 1‐x PO 4 mixed crystal will be a promising laser material if the crystal size and quality is further improved.
