Abstract

We demonstrated a method for measuring the quantum efficiency of deep UV emission using the two-step excitation and the difference of the integrated spectral intensities in Pr3+-doped CaAl4O7 and SrAl4O7 crystals. The quantum efficiencies of the emission from the lowest 4f5d state in the two systems have been estimated to be less than 10% at room temperature. The effect of excited-state absorption of the lowest 4f5d state is analyzed for the quantum efficiency measurement. The actual efficiency may be higher when this effect is taken into account, especially under the condition of strong excitation.
