Abstract
Optical properties of three fluoride single crystals (YF3, LiLuF4 and KY3F1
0) doped with Nd3+ ions have been studied. Low temperature absorption spect
ra lead to the Stark energy level scheme up to 29000 cm(-1). From room temp
erature absorption measurements and using the Judd-Ofelt theory, the Ohm (2
), Ohm (4), Ohm (6) parameters have been obtained in the LiLuF4:Nd3+ and KY
3F10:Nd3+ crystals and radiative lifetimes have been calculated. (C) 2001 E
