Abstract

The absorption and luminescence spectra of Yb3+ and the luminescence decay kinetics for the Yb3+2F5/2 level in YVO4:Yb3+ crystals are studied. The luminescence cross section for the Yb3+2F5/2 → 2F7/2transition in YVO4:Yb3+ is determined by the Fuchtbauer–Ladenburg method, and the radiative lifetime of Yb3+ is evaluated.
