Abstract

An experimental investigation was made of nonradiative relaxation of the excitation from the 4S3/2 level of the Er3+ ion in Y3Al5O12. It was found that quenching of the excitation from the 4S3/2 level cannot be described using a single microparameter at all stages of the excitation decay process.

Lasing in Y3Al5O12:Er3+(λ = 2.94 μm) crystals as a result of selective excitation of the lower active level

Lasing was induced in Y1.5Er1.5Al5O12 (λ = 2.94 μm) crystals by selective pumping of the electronic–vibrational wing of the 4I15/2–4I13/2 transition. A population inversion was established in this YAG:Er3+ laser by a strong interaction between the excited Er3+ ions at the 4I13/2 level and the transfer of energy from the lower active level to the upper one in accordance with the 4I13/2–4I9/2, 4I13/2–4I15/2 scheme.

An investigation is made of processes of population and relaxation of the 4F3/2 neodymium upper active level in a γ-La2S3 semiconductor single crystal and the energy transfer microparameters are determined. Nonradiative transfer of energy from a continuous set of traps to the 4F3/2 upper active level of neodymium was observed when the sample was excited with λ = 0.53 μ radiation and cross relaxation from excited states located above the 4F3/2 upper active level was identified.

A new phenomena of nonradiative cooperative energy transfer from optically excited single Nd3+ ion to the cooperative acceptor formed by a pair of Ce3+ ions and from single excited Er3+ ion simultaneously to three Ce3+ ions acting as a nonlinear cooperative acceptor was observed by measuring the concentrational quenching of donor ions fluorescence in solid solution of La1−xCexF3.

Measurements were made of the rate constants of transfer of the excitation energy by the interaction between Er 3+ ions excited to 4 I 11/2,13/2 states in Y 3 Al 5 O 12 crystals. The constants were used to determine the influence of the cooperative processes on lasing of an Y 3 Al 5 O 12 :Er 3+ crystal as a result of the 4 I 11/2 – 4 I 13/2 transition.
