M. Ashida et al., LUMINESCENCE AND SUPERFLUORESCENCE-LIKE EMISSION FROM A THIN-LAYER OFO-2(-) CENTERS IN KBR CRYSTAL, Journal of luminescence, 72-4, 1997, pp. 624-625
Intense directional emission from a thin layer of O-2(-) centers intro
duced in K Br has been investigated under strong excitation in the ran
ge of 4.5-80 K. Its temporal and spectral profiles have been measured
simultaneously for each excitation shot. It has been found that the em
ission changes from superfluorescence to amplified spontaneous emissio
n drastically around 20 K.
