Absorption spectra of Pr/sup 3 +/ and Nd/sup 3 +/ diluted in LuPO/sub 4/ and YPO/sub 4/ crystals have been measured from 4000 to 30 000 cm/sup -1/, at liquid He and N/sub 2/ temperatures. Fluorescence was observed for Pr/sup 3 +/ and Nd/sup 3 +/ in YPO/sub 4/, and Zeeman spectra were obtained in the visible region. The transitions were assigned and fit to a semiempirical Hamiltonian with adjustable parameters via a least squares procedure. Satisfactory fits and reasonable agreement between calculated and measured g values were obtained.
