Abstract
Luminescence from chromium-neodymium-doped lithium niobate (LiNbO3) was exp erimentally measured to determine the degree of non-radiative energy transf er between chromium and neodymium ions. Evidence is presented for two diffe rent time constants for emission from chromium ions in the material, indica ting that non-radiative transfer does occur. Differences between quasi-cont inuous pumping and pulsed excitation are discussed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scien ce B.V. All rights reserved.
