The room temperature luminescence spectra of the monoterpyridyl chelates of trivalent samarium, dysprosium and thulium have been studied in solid state by exciting with monochromatic radiation of 3200 Å. The spectra of these chelates show intra f → f fluorescent transitions of the chelated rare earth ions as well as the molecular band fluorescence. The “bottleneck” nature of the energy transfer from the nitrogen containing heterocyclic ligands to the coordinated rare earth ions is proposed. The fluorescence data of mono-terpyridyl chelates have been compared with those of bis-dipyridyl one.The phosphorescence spectrum of terpyridyl has also been investigated. The lowest triplet state of the free ligand is found at 22 940 cm-1 above the ground level. The phosphorescence lifetime of terpyridyl is about 2 sec

ABSTRACTGaN epilayers grown by MOCVD were implanted with different fluences of thulium at room temperature and at 500 °C in order to find the optimum implantation conditions. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry in the channeling mode was used to monitor the damage evolution in the Ga-sublattice and to establish the lattice site location of the thulium ions. The nature of structural defects was studied with transmission electron microscopy and the optical properties of the samples with room temperature cathodoluminescence. The introduced damage could be significantly reduced by implantation at high temperature for fluences up to 5×1015 Tm/cm2. Annealing was necessary for optical activation of the implanted samples, in all cases. After annealing, sharp rare earth related emissions were observed in the blue and in the near infra-red spectral region.

ABSTRACTTrivalent rare earth ions in crystalline or fiber hosts are among the most successful of laser materials, but new dopant-host combinations and more detailed understanding of existing materials continue to be needed. This paper presents a few examples from the work of our team at the Army Research Laboratory, highlighting the interrelation between spectroscopic properties and laser behavior. It focuses on bulk solids, though rare-earth-doped fiber lasers are also extremely important. One system discussed is Nd:YAG, particularly concentration quenching in heavily doped ceramic YAG. Spectroscopic properties of Yb:Y2O3 and Yb:Sc2O3 help to elucidate their laser performance. Spectra indicate that Er:YAG is more promising than Er:Sc2O3 for room temperature laser operation, but that the reverse is true for operation at and somewhat above liquid nitrogen temperature.
