摘要
A discussion of the spectroscopic properties of the low-phonon energy laser host material potassium lead chloride, KPb2Cl5, doped with trivalent erbium is presented. In this paper we present room temperature spectroscopic measurements and subsequent analysis based on the Judd-Ofelt model. Additionally, Stark level energies of the Er3+ ions in the crystal were deter-mined from spectroscopic measurements performed at cryogenic temperatures. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
