The relationship between perturbation theory and direct calculations of rare-earth transition intensities

Abstract

We use a simplified calculation to demonstrate the equivalence between three different methods for calculating transition line strengths. These calculations demonstrate the complex interplay between spin-orbit and correlation contributions to two-photon transitions in rare-earth ions.

A new contribution to spin-forbidden rare earth optical transition intensities: Gd3+ and Eu3+

M. C. Downer, Gary W. Burdick, Dhiraj Kumar Sardar

Quantitative calculations show that numerous spin-forbidden linear optical transitions observed in trivalent rare earth ions acquire a major fraction of their intensity from hitherto neglected contributions involving spin–orbit linkages within excited configurations. Motivated by the importance of analogous linkages previously demonstrated in two-photon absorption, we derive a general expression applicable for all lN→lN transitions which can be incorporated into a revised Judd–Ofelt analysis of observed intensities. Presenting this revised analysis of observed linear absorption intensities for Gd3+ and Eu3+, we show that the new contribution is often comparable to standard contributions. With substantial modification of previously fitted phenomenological parameters, an improved fit to observed intensities is achieved, suggesting that reanalysis of linear intensity data for all trivalent rare earths is warranted.

Calculation of intensity for transitions within 4f~N configuration of rare-earth ions in crystals

Chang‐Kui Duan

Firstly,the crystal-field model is reviewedwith emphasis on the energy-splitting and the lift of parity-forbidden rule for d-d or f-f one-photon ED transition caused by it.Then based on our work the progressof transition intensity calculations for one-photon,two-photon transitions and electronic Raman scattering within the 4f~(N) configuration of rare earth ions are commented on and some suggestions on further directions in this field are proposed.
