Abstract: | Optical studies of Bridgman grown LiYF4 crystals weakly doped with Nd3+ have been made in the vicinity of the 4I9/2→4G5/2 transition. By selective excitation with a narrow pulsed laser or with a CW monomode laser, excitation spectra and dynamical characteristics of infrared and ultraviolet (up-converted) fluorescences produced by satellites associated with Nd3+ pairs have been obtained. From the results, an assignment of the satellites to the various classes of pairs has been possible. The existence of a short range interaction, probably superexchange, has been proved which confirms previous observations in another fluoride compound, LaF3. |
