R. Jaaniso et H. Bill, HIGH-TEMPERATURE SPECTRAL HOLE-BURNING ON SM-DOPED SINGLE-CRYSTAL MATERIALS OF PBFCL FAMILY, Journal of luminescence, 64(1-6), 1995, pp. 173-179
Basic properties relevant to spectral hole burning (homogeneous and in
homogeneous spectral broadening, hole burning and filling mechanisms)
are investigated in Me(y)(1)Me(1-y)(II)FX(x)(I)X(1-x)(II):Sm2+ (Me = C
a,Sr,Ba; X = Cl,Br,I) single crystals. The relations between the spect
ral characteristics of D-5(0,1)-F-7(0) transitions and the material st
ructure are described. Hole stability is investigated up to 430 K and
is shown to be determined by ionic diffusion.
