An analysis of the absorption and luminescence spectra of a Y2SiO5:Pr3
+ crystal has revealed the existence of two Pr3+ optical centers assoc
iated with the presence of impurity ions at nonequivalent cation sites
. It is found that energy is transported nonradiatively between the no
nequivalent Pr3+ optical centers. and a preliminary analysis of the tr
ansport mechanism is carried out. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physi
