Abstract
We report in this paper the spectral characteristics of Er3+ (2 at.%)- activated and Ce3+ (0.3 at.%)-sensitized yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG :Er,Ce) laser crystals grown by the Czochralski technique. The absorpt ion and emission spectra were measured at room temperature. By using a bsorption spectra and Judd-Ofelt theory the experimental oscillator st rengths of the Er3+ transitions in the YAG:Er,Ce crystals were calcula ted. The energy transfer between the Er3+ and Ce3+ ions is also discus sed.
