An Er3+/Sc3+ co-doped 0.68Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.32PbTiO3 ferroelectric single crystal was grown by high-temperature flux method. The remnant polarization Pr is 27.97 µC/cm2 and the coercive field Ec is 8.26 kV/cm for [100] oriented crystal. Green (524 and 551 nm) and red (654 nm) emission bands are generated at the 980 nm excitation, which corresponds to the 2H11/2→ 4I15/2, 4S3/2→ 4I15/2 and 4F9/2→ 4I15/2 transitions of Er3+, respectively. Judd–Ofelt theory has been applied to predict the spectroscopic characteristics of the as-grown crystals. The obtained J–O intensity parameters Ωt (t = 2, 4 and 6) are Ω2 = 0.76 × 10−20 cm2, Ω4 = 1.0 × 10−20 cm2, Ω6 = 0.55 × 10−20 cm2. Spectroscopic characteristics, including optical transition probabilities, branching ratio, and radiative lifetime of Er3+ in the crystal, are determined. The calculated radiative lifetimes of 4I13/2 and 4I11/2 energy levels are 2.82 ms and 2.61 ms, respectively. These investigations provide possibilities for the crystal Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.32PbTiO3:Er3+/Sc3+ to be a new type of multifunctional crystal integrating electricity-luminescence.

The optical absorption and emission intensity of luminescent and birefringent crystal ErBa3B9O18were examined from optical absorption data based on Judd-Ofelt theory. The three intensity parametersΩt(t=2,4,6) are 3.10 × 10−20, 0.87 × 10−20, and 1.80 × 10−20 cm2, respectively. From the obtained intensity parameters, the radiative probabilitiesAr, radiative lifetimeτf, fluorescence branching ratiosβc, and integrated emission cross sections∑have been calculated. In comparison with other Er-doped luminescent crystals, ErBa3B9O18may find application in thin disk laser.

Glasses of the system: xB2O3-10Bi2O3-30Li2O-xPr6O11 where x =1, 1.5 and 2 were prepared by melt quenching technique. Optical absorption and emission spectra have been recorded. The intensities of f-f transition are calculated in term of Judd-Ofelt (JO) intensity parameters Ωλ (λ = 2, 4 and 6). Using the fluorescence data and these Ωλ parameters, various radiative properties like transition probability (Arad), branching ratio (βR), radiative lifetime (τR), and stimulated emission cross section (σp), of various emission lines have been evaluated. The branching ratio for 3P0→3H4 transition is 56% and the predicted spontaneous radiative transition probability rates are fairly high 16411 s−1. This is beneficial for lasing emission.

A series of Ho : LiNbO 3 crystals with various concentration of Ho 2 O 3 were grown by Czochralski technique. Transmittance spectrum, absorption spectrum and modified Judd–Ofelt approach have been used to investigate its spectroscopic properties. Ho concentrations in crystals were analyzed by an inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OE/MS). The results of the spectroscopic analysis of transition strengths for Ho ion in a series of Ho : LiNbO 3 crystals with various Ho content are reported. It is concluded that all the Ωλ values of the Ho ion decrease with increasing Ho content. For Ho (4 mol%): LiNbO 3, the obtained intensity parameters and radiative lifetime of the 5 I 5 level are: Ω2=5.75×10-20 cm2, Ω4=22.69×10-20 cm2, Ω6=14.10×10-20 cm2, and τ=4.08 ms respectively. The results showed that the Ho 2 O 3-codoped LiNbO 3 crystal increases the Ho ion radiative lifetimes, but has less influence on the fluorescence branching ratio.

The influence of erbium ion concentration on the optical properties of BaF2:ErF3 crystals was investigated. Four ErF3 concentration (0.05, 0.08, 0.15 and 0.5 mol% ErF3)-doped BaF2 crystals were obtained using the Bridgman technique. Room temperature optical absorption in the 250–850 nm spectral range was measured, and the photoluminescence (PL) and decay times were also investigated. The Judd–Ofelt (JO) approximation was used, taking into account four absorption peaks (at 377, 519, 653 and 802 nm). The JO intensity parameters, Ωt (t = 2, 4, 6), were calculated. The influence of the ErF3 concentration on the JO parameters, branching ratio, radiative transition probability and radiative lifetime were studied. The obtained results were compared with measured values and with those reported in the literature. Under excitation at 380 nm, the well-known green (539 nm) and red (668 nm) emissions were obtained. The calculated and experimental radiative lifetimes were in millisecond range for green and red emissions. The intensity of the PL spectra varied with the Er3+ ion concentration. The emission intensity increased linearly or exponentially, depending on the ErF3 concentration. Under excitation at 290 nm, separate to the green and red emissions, a new UV emission band (at 321 nm) was obtained. Other research has not reported the UV emission or the influence of ErF3 concentration on emission behavior.

Glasses having compositions 20B2O3.(79.5-x)Bi2O3.xSiO2(10 ≤ x ≤ 40) doped with 0.5 mol% of Sm3+ions were prepared by melt quench technique. The amorphous nature of the glasses was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The spectroscopic properties of Sm3+ions in bismuth borosilicate glasses as a function of bismuth oxide were investigated using optical absorption and fluorescence spectra. The Judd-Ofelt theory has been employed to calculate transitions probability from the data of absorption cross-section of several f-f transitions. The intensity parameters Ω2is related to the symmetry of glass hosts, where as the parameter Ω6is inversely proportional to the rare earth oxygen (RE-O) covalency. The variation of Ω4with Bi2O3content has been attributed to rigidity of the samples. Using the Judd Ofelt intensity parameters the other radiative properties like radiative transition probability, radiative life time, branching ratio and the stimulated emission cross-sections of prepared BBSS glasses have been calculated. A bright fluorescent orange emission at 600 nm (4G5/2→6H7/2) of Sm3+ion has been investigated as a function of Bi2O3in host glass. The radiative transition probabilities of Sm3+ions are large in bismuth borosilicate glasses, suggesting the suitability of these glasses as potential candidate for laser application.

A capillary pulsed-discharge and a theta-pinch were used to record Kr spectra in the region of 330–4800 Å. A set of 168 transitions of these spectra were classified for the first time. We extended the analysis to twenty-five new energy levels belonging to 3s23p24d, 3s23p25d even configurations. We calculated weighted transition probabilities (gA) for all of the experimentally observed lines and lifetimes for new energy levels using a relativistic Hartree–Fock method, including core-polarization effects.

Multicomposition of Er3+-Yb3+codoped tellurite oxide, TeO2-ZnO-PbO-TiO2-Na2O glass has been investigated. Detailed spectroscopic study of the Judd-Ofelt analysis has been performed from the measured absorption spectrum in order to obtain the intensity parameters Ωt(t=2, 4, 6). The calculated Ωtvalues were then utilized in the determination of transition probabilities, radiative lifetimes and branching ratios of the Er3+transitions between theJ(upper)-J(lower) manifolds. Both visible upconversion and near-infrared spectra were characterized under the 980 nm laser diode excitation at room temperature.

White dwarfs are one of the most readily studied end products of stellarevolution. Their observed properties have provided and continue to provide important constraints for the theory of stellar evolution. Likewise, a study of magnetism in white dwarfs provides unique insights into the origin and evolution of magnetic fields in stars.Spectacular progress has been made on the specific problem of the structure of the hydrogen atom in strong fields. Energy levels and transition probabilities are now known for all low lying states of hydrogen for the entire range of field strengths appropriate to white dwarfs and neutron stars (104-1013G) (Rosner et al 1984, Forster et al 1984 and Henry and O’Connell 1984). These calculations resulted in the identification of spectral features in the magnetic white dwarf Grw+70°8247 which had remained unidentified for over 50 years (Minkowski 1938), with Zeeman shifted hydrogen lines in a magnetic field of 100 -320 MG ((eg Wickamasinghe and Ferrano 1989). Several other strong field magnetic white dwarfs have since been discovered through hydrogen Zeeman spectroscopy. The data presently at hand show that most hydrogen rich magnetic white dwarfs have complex non-dipolar field structures with strong evidence for higher order multipole components.

We present a new calculation of intercombination transition probabilities between levels X1Σg+ and a 3Πu of the C2 molecule. Starting from experimental energy levels, we calculate RKR potential curves using Leroy's Near Dissociation Expansion (NDE) method; these curves give us wave functions for all levels of interest. We then compute the energy matrix for the four lowest states of C2, taking into account Spin-Orbit coupling between a 3Πu and A 1Πu on the one hand and X 1Σ+g and b 3Σg− on the other. First order wave functions are then derived by diagonalization. Einstein emission transition probabilities of the Intercombination lines are finally obtained.
