With their dipole‐forbidden 4f transitions, lanthanides doped in nanoparticles promise high
excited state lifetimes and quantum yields that are required for applications such as …

Abstract Three Pr: PbF 2 single crystals with different doping concentrations (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0
at.%) have been detailed investigated to figure out the effect of doping concentration on …

Abstract The Dy, Pr: CeF 3 single crystal was successfully grown and its optical
characteristics were investigated systematically. The analysis of energy transfer process …

In order to study the spectral properties of Ho 3+: YLiF 4 (Ho 3+: YLF), we measured the
absorption spectra f Ho 3+: YLF crystal. The experimental and calculated electric dipole line …

We report a continuous-wave (CW) orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength Pr: LiYF 4 laser
in 1.3 μm region pumped by a Yb-doped fiber laser. The gain and loss of the wavelengths in …

A novel Praseodymium-doped borate (Pr: α-BBO) laser crystal was grown successfully by
using the Czochralski method. The phase structure, absorption and fluorescence lifetime, as …

Downsizing lanthanide-doped crystals to the nanoscale allows for new applications in a
variety of forms as photonic composites. The dipole-forbidden 4f transitions in trivalent …
