Upconversion and cooperative energy transfer in erbium in cubic crystalline hosts

Not Accessible

Abstract

Cubic crystalline hosts have been the proving ground for spectroscopic investigations in solids. Both experiments and theoretical models to interpret the data are simple in these high-symmetry systems. The same argument makes cubic systems more suitable for studies of excitation dynamics and electron-lattice coupling, which are of great significance for laser media. However, energy-transfer and upconversion studies are confined to noncubic systems because the parity-selection rules generally give prohibitively small transfer rates in a cubic environment. In this paper we present our results on energy transfer and upconversion in a cubic host.
