Abstract
The present paper summarizes detailed investigations of Nd3+ fluorescence spectra in YAP:Nd laser crystal in the broad spectral range of 370–1100 nm at liquid nitrogen temperature. Especially, Nd3+ near UV and visible fluorescence spectra were studied for the first time in this crystal. The Nd3+ near UV and visible fluorescence spectra of this crystal consist of many narrow lines (up to 50). The Nd3+ near UV and visible fluorescence lines arise mainly from4D3/2 and2P3/2 Nd3+ terms (transitions from4D3/2,2P3/2 to lower lying Nd3+ levels are responsible for their appearance). At room temperature the fluorescence spectra consist of broad bands with narrow lines (mainly4D3/2√4F3/2,4F5/2 and2H9/2 transitions).
