Rare earth ion (Er3+, Eu3+ and Sm3+)-doped alumina films have been pre
pared by the sol-gel method, using AlCl3-derived alumina sol. The effe
cts of dopant concentration and treatment temperatures on the photo-pr
operties of absorption and emission have been examined for the doped f
ilms. These sol-gel-derived alumina matrices gave a high-dopant concen
tration(similar to 15 mol% per alumina). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V
