Abstract

A Tb3+:KYW crystal was grown by the modified Czochralski technique. Polarized ground state absorption and fluorescence spectra, as well as a fluorescence decay curve, were recorded at room temperature. Radiative properties such as emission probabilities, branching ratios, and radiative lifetime were investigated within the theory of 4f–4f transition intensity in the case of a strong configuration interaction. The limitations of visible laser operation of Tb3+-doped double tungstate crystals are discussed.
