Abstract
Anomalous and strong optical absorption occurs in Pr-doped LaCl3 crystals for laser pump light connecting excited electronic states of the Pr ion and intensity in excess of a well-defined threshold value. We have measured the absorption as a function of pumping intensity and compare the results with mathematical models of a laser-induced excited-state population.
