N. Pelletierallard et al., QUENCHING PROCESS OF THE ND FLUORESCENCE IN ND, ER CODOPED YTTRIUM ALUMINUM PEROVSKITE, Journal of luminescence, 62(6), 1994, pp. 257-262
High resolution spectroscopy has been used to determine the origin of
the quenching of the Nd fluorescence in an Er codoped YAlO3 crystal, i
n relation with an apparent lowering of the Nd concentration following
the Er codoping. The investigation has been carried out through a stu
dy of the satellite structure of the Nd transition between the ground
level and the lowest Stark level of the 4G5/2 multiplet.
