Abstract
Optical features (absorption and luminescence spectra) for Er3+ doped yttrium-aluminium garnet (YAG), yttrium orthoaluminate (YAP) and LiNbO 3 crystals as well as their changes after UV and gamma irradiations ar e presented. Possibility of gamma-induced sensibilization process in E r3+ doped crystals is discussed. Positive result for non-pre-annealed gamma-irradiated rods of Er3+:YAG crystal was stated.
