“…The absorption bands centered at 368, 381, 410, 453, 492, 525, 550, 660, 980 and 1540 nm are attributed to the transitions from the ground 4 The J-O intensity parameters of Er:NSLN crystal can be obtained based on the J-O theory, and the corresponding calculated procedures have been reported earlier. [30][31][32] The value of the root mean-square deviation (d rms ) is calculated to be 70 6 10 28 for Er:NSLN crystal, which is similar to that in Er (1 mol%):LiNbO 3 crystal (31 6 10 28 ) reported by J. Amin, 33 indicating that the fitting results here may be credible. The J-O intensity parameters are V 2 = 9.17 6 10 220 cm 2 , V 4 = 2.47 6 10 220 cm 2 and V 6 = 1.00 6 10 220 cm 2 for Er:NSLN crystal.…”
