Abstract

The results of Er3+ ion spectroscopic analysis in Sc:LiNbO 3 crystals were reported. The line strengths from the ground state to the excited state were evaluated from the measured unpolarized absorption spectrum and analyzed by using standard Judd-Ofelt theory. For Sc(3 mol.∈%):Er (1 mol.∈%):LiNbO3 crystal, the obtained intensity parameters are: Ω2=3.72×10-20 cm2, Ω4=1.07×10-20 cm2, and Ω6=0.98×10-20 cm2. The fluorescence spectra and microsecond time-resolved spectra were investigated in the visible region. The excited state absorption transition strengths at 800 nm excitation were evaluated based on Judd-Ofelt theory. The results obtained here were compared to results from other research on Er:LiNbO3 crystals.
