Abstract:The concentration dependence of energy transfer from Cr3+ to Nd3+ at the 4T1 level excitation in Nd/Cr:YAG was investigated by the fluorescence decay curves of Cr3+ and Nd3+ for Nd/Cr:YAG and Cr:YAG ceramic powders in the Cr3+ concentration range of 0.1 to 6.0 mol%. The energy transfer process between Cr3+ and Nd3+ at the 4T1 level excitation is tried to explain using a rate equation that assumes energy transfer from the 2E–4T2 level to Nd3+ on the basis of dipole–dipole interactions, the same as the 4T2 level… Show more
