Abstract

Optical spectra, radiative and nonradiative transition intensities, and luminescence kinetics of neodymium-doped potassium-lead double chloride crystals Nd3+:KPb2Cl5, (Nd3+:KPC) are investigated. Crystals were grown by the Stockbarger-Bridgman technique. Experimental studies of absorption and luminescence spectra are performed, intensity parameters are obtained by the Judd-Ofelt method, radiative transition probabilities and branching ratios are calculated, and nonradiative transition probabilities are estimated. Luminescence kinetics of 2 K 13/2, 2 P 3/2, and 4 D 3/2 radiative levels of neodymium under selective excitation in the 355-nm region are studied.
