“…Here we limit our discussion to state-of-the-art papers. Antipenko studied Tm ↔ Ho ET, sensitized stimulated emission of Ho 3+ ions and the thermal physics of Tm,Ho:BaEr 2 F 8 [19][20][21] and Tm,Ho,Cr:YAG [22,23] crystals. A detailed discussion of the mechanisms of the above-mentioned ET, and an interpretation of the luminescence decay curves for Tm 3+ and Ho 3+ ions, was presented for Tm,Ho,Cr-codoped YSGG and GSAG garnets by Shcherbakov and co-authors [24][25][26].…”
