The polarized optical absorption of Er3+- doped LiNbO3 has been obtain
ed and analyzed within the framework of the Judd-Ofelt theory includin
g polarization dependences. These results are compared with those obta
ined under unpolarized conditions. Fluorescence lifetimes for differen
t Er3+ concentrations have also been measured in the temperature range
10-300 K.
