The SH process originates in combined magnetic-dipole and electric-dipole transitions between the (3d)8 levels of the Ni2+ ion in the crystal field. It is greatly enhanced by being resonant both in the incoming and the outgoing light waves. The polarization dependence reveals a sensitivity of the SH process to both T and S domains which are investigated in imaging experiments.","PeriodicalId":312884,"journal":{"name":"Feofilov Symposium on Spectropscopy of Crystals Activated by Rare-Earth and Transition Metal Ions","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122643093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Er-related optically active centers detected in SMBE Si:Er/Si structures are classified based on their spectroscopic features. The novel optically active Er- related center Er-1 specific for SMBE Si:Er/Si structures is identified. A novel type of Si:Er/Si structures namely selectively Er-doped multilayer structures with enhanced luminescence efficiency grown in SMBE process is demonstrated. The features of the energy transfer to Er3+ ions in SMBE Si:Er/Si structures as compared with ion implanted Si:Er/Si structures are discussed.","PeriodicalId":312884,"journal":{"name":"Feofilov Symposium on Spectropscopy of Crystals Activated by Rare-Earth and Transition Metal Ions","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116761045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Active media- specific pumping-induced color centers, on one hand, would absorb the laser radiation and reduce the laser efficiency. On the other hand they also get bleached by the pump laser radiation so that the current value of total intracavity losses is governed by dynamic equilibrium and depends on some active medium microparameters as well as the pump flux and is cavity specific. Presented here are the model of dynamic processes in a UV solarizable active medium under pumping conditions and the new technique of laser experimental data analysis for variable intracavity losses based on this model. It is shown that properly set laser experiment enables us to obtain the necessary active medium microparameters, including the pump excited state absorption and color center absorption of laser radiation cross- sections, photoelectron trapping rate by host lattice defects and their recombination rate. The results of this technique application to the laser experiment analysis for the series of Ce3+:LiYbxLu1-xF4 single crystals are presented.","PeriodicalId":312884,"journal":{"name":"Feofilov Symposium on Spectropscopy of Crystals Activated by Rare-Earth and Transition Metal Ions","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132744453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These symmetric pair centers are very suitable for studying cooperative effects of RE ions. These include processes between the ions of the pair as well as processes between the coupled pair and the electronic excitations of the host lattice. Experiments will be shown and discussed on: (i) cross relaxation and up-conversion by direct ion-ion interaction; (ii) cooperative cross relaxation of the Pr3+ pairs with the host lattice; and (iii) cooperative vibronic emission of the Pr3+ pairs with high phonon progressions.","PeriodicalId":312884,"journal":{"name":"Feofilov Symposium on Spectropscopy of Crystals Activated by Rare-Earth and Transition Metal Ions","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131549816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
