Abstract
Spectroscopic characteristics of Pr3+ ions doped CNGG and CLNGG single crystals were investigated in order to assess their potential as laser materials for visible emission. The Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters for the f-f transitions of Pr3+ ions were used to determine spectroscopic and laser emission features. The temperature dependence of the absorption spectra for the 3H4 → 3P0 transition was used to highlight the multicenter structure, different Stark levels, hot bands, and also the connection between the vibronic and electronic lines. The presence of electron-phonon interaction was also observed in the emission spectra corresponding to the 3P0 → 3H4 transition under different excitation wavelengths. Based on low temperature absorption and emission spectra, partial energy level diagrams of Pr3+ ions doped in CNGG and CLNGG single crystals were obtained. The emission cross-sections for different transitions of Pr3+ ions were evaluated by the Fuchtbauer-Ladenburg formula. The fluorescence decay curve of the 1D2 level was measured under selective excitation at different concentrations and temperatures. The concentration quenching process for the 1D2 state was also studied.
