A study of the fluorescence lifetime of Pr3+ in SBN40

The fluorescence lifetime τ₁ of Pr³⁺ doped in the ferroelectric solid solution SNB40 (Ba_0.4Sr_0.6Nb₂O₆) was measured ar various temperatures. The fluorescence lifetime decreases gradually with increasing temperature. Furthermore, an anomalous increase of τ₁ was observed at a specific temperature. The fluorescence linewidth and the peak wavelength of fluorescence also showed an anomalous change at this temperature. It is likely that this phenomenon is due to the phase transition of the host crystal SBN40.

Laser induced emission spectra of Pr3+ in CaF2 at low temperatures

The luminescence spectra of Pr³⁺ in CaF₂, excited with the 4765.05 Å line of the argon ion laser at low temperatures, consist of many more emission lines than the maximum allowed via the ³P₀→³H_4,5,6; ³F_2,3,4 transitions of a single Pr³⁺-site. Based upon their intensity, appropriate splittings and concentration dependence, these emission lines are divided into three groups, attributed to different sites of Pr³⁺ in CaF₂. The existence of Pr³⁺ ions in defect sites of different symmetries is supported by theoretical calculations. The laser emission spectra of Pr³⁺ at low temperatures are compared with room temperature emission spectra obtained with excitation of the ³P₀ state alone, and with low temperature spectra of Pr³⁺ in different hosts, reported in the literature.

Quantum efficiency of non-radiative energy transfer from Eu3+ → Pr3+ in calibo glass

Study of energy transfer from optically excited Eu³⁺ to Pr³⁺ has been carried out in calibo glass. Probabilities (P_da) and efficiencies (η_T) of energy transfer from Eu³⁺ to Pr³⁺ have been calculated from the life time and emission intensity of Eu³⁺ + Pr³⁺. At low acceptor concentrations, P_da varies linearly with C_a showing migration of energy among donors. At high acceptor concentrations, P_da depends linearly on (C_a + C_d)², which is consistent with Fong and Diestler theory of dipole-dipole mechanism of energy transfer. At low temperatures the probability and the efficiency decrease due to increase in the emission intensity and life time, which suggests that at room temperature the energy is transferred to lattice by donor lowering life time and intensity. At high temperatures no emission from higher levels of donor is obtained which suggests blurring out of energy levels in glassy matrix.     

Racah and Judd-Ofelt parameters for Pr3+, Nd3+, and Er3+ ions in a laser liquid

The values of the Slater-Condon (F₂, F₄, F₆), Racah (E¹, E², E³) and Lande ξ₄f coefficients the nephelauxetic ratio (β), the bonding parameter (σ), and the Judd-Ofelt intensity (T_λ) parameters have been calculated from the reported absorption spectra of Pr³⁺, Nd³⁺, and Er³⁺ ions in an aprotic solvent SeOCl₂ acidified with antimony pentachloride. The nature of the bonding is suggested to be covalent for praseodymium, neodymium and erbium ions in the laser liquid in view of the magnitude of the respective bonding parameters.

Doping effects of Nb5+ on red long afterglow phosphor CaTiO3:Pr3+

A series of Nb5+ codoped red long afterglow phosphors CaTi1 xNbxO3:Pr03.+002 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) is prepared by a solid state reaction method. Their photoluminescence, phosphorescence and thermoluminescence are investigated. The results indicate that codoping Nb5+ can improve the photoluminescence and phosphorescence property of CaTiO3:Pr3+ significantly. When 3-mol% Nb5+ is codoped, the emission intensity of CaTiO3:Pr3+ is enhanced twice, while the afterglow time is extended from 10 min to about 40 min. Thermoluminescence results reveal that the trapping level of CaTiO3:Pr3+ is reduced from 0.82 eV to 0.62 eV by codoping Nb5+. The effect of Nb5+ doping on enhancing the photoluminescence intensity and afterglow time of CaTiO3:Pr3+ is discussed.     

Measurement of optical dephasing of Eu3+ and Pr3+ doped silicate glasses by spectral holeburning

Long-lived spectral holeburning has been observed in Eu³⁺ and Pr³⁺ doped silicate glasses, and used to measure homogeneous linewidths (φ_h). In the case of Eu³⁺, holes are burned by optical pumping of nuclear quadrupole levels, and our low temperature measurement of φ_h shows that the previously determined T^1.8 temperature dependence holds down to at least 1.6 K. On the other hand, in Pr³⁺ doped glass, holes are burned by optically induced local lattice rearrangements. In contrast to previously studied inorganic glasses, we find a linear temperature dependence of φ_h for the ³H₄ ? ¹D₂ transition from 1.6 K to 20 K. This was confirmed by picosecond accumulated grating photon echoes. Current theories of dephasing in glasses do not predict these temperature dependences. Holeburning has also been observed in Pr³⁺ doped BeF₂ and phosphate glasses and Nd³⁺ doped silicate glass and thus appears to be a rather general phenomenon in inorganic glasses, as has been found for molecules in organic glasses.     

Optical absorption and emission of LiYF4:Pr3+

The optical absorption, emission and excitation spectra of Pr³⁺ ions in LiYF₄ have been measured. Energy transfer is observed and an estimate of the energy transfer rate is made. The temperature dependence of the emission lifetimes for Pr³⁺ and Er³⁺ and the Judd-Ofelt theory were used to make this determination. The energy levels responsible for the various transitions have been assigned previously by Esterowitz et al. and the polarized optical absorption and emission data presented in this paper are in agreement with their excellent work.

Growth and the luminescence properties of a lutetium gadolinium garnet doped with Ce3+ and Pr3+ ions

Crystals of lutetium gadolinium garnet solid solutions (Lu_{1 − x} Gd _x )Al₅O₁₂ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6) doped with Ce³⁺ and Pr³⁺ ions have been prepared by the horizontal directional crystallization method, and their optical and luminescence properties have been investigated. It has been established that the introduction of gadolinium into the lutetium garnet lattice leads to a decrease in the antisite luminescence (Lu_Al centers) in the UV spectral range and to sensitization of the Ce³⁺ ion luminescence. By contrast, the presence of gadolinium results in the quenching of the Pr³⁺ luminescence due to the nonradiative excitation transfer from Pr³⁺ ions to Gd³⁺ ions.

Optical line narrowing by nuclear spin decoupling in Pr3+: LaF3

We have applied the technique of nuclear spin decoupling to the optical regime. In these experiments we selectively eliminated the role of ¹⁹F spin fluctuations as the dominant source of dephasing in the 5925A (¹D₂ / ³H₄)Pr³⁺ optical transition in 0.05% Pr³⁺: LaF₃ at 2K. The homogeneous optical linewidth (FWHM), measured by photon echoes, was reduced from 56 kHz to 6 kHz by on-resonance nutation of ¹⁹F in an external magnetic field of 375G. Further reduction of the linewidth to 4.1 kHz was observed by off-resonance irradiation of the fluorines such that their effective field in the rotating frame was at the ‘magic angle’ ($\text{cos}{}^{-1}\text{1}\text{3}$) with respect to the external field.
