Abstract
High-quality Dy:PbF2 crystal is grown by the Bridgman method in a nonvacuum atmosphere. By measuring the area under absorption bands, the experimental oscillator strengths are determined. The Judd–Ofelt (JO) intensity parameters Ωλ (λ = 2, 4, 6) are evaluated by the least-squares fit method. These phenomenological parameters are used to predict radiative transition probabilities, radiative lifetime and branching ratios for various excited levels of the Dy3+:PbF2 crystal. Photoluminescence spectra and lifetime of 6H13/2 levels of the Dy3+ ions have been measured. The laser transitions with most potential are identified and the utility of the PbF2 crystal as laser active material is discussed.
