Fluorescent line-narrowing studies of Nd: glass laser materials. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5707049
During the last year of effort under Purchase Order No. 9506303, Fluorescence Line-Narrowing Studies of Nd: Glass Laser Materials, work was continued and completed, representing the culmination of a major multiyear effort to elucidate the spectroscopic and structural properties of rare earth doped glass laser materials. The final year of effort covered in this report was directed at three major areas of effort. First of all, the analysis of the Nd/sup 3 +/ decay kinetics was completed. Secondly, the rationalization of Eu/sup 3 +/ crystal field behavior with Nd/sup 3 +/ crystal field behavior in fluoroberyllate and fluorophosphate glass was pursued both theoretically and experimentaly. Structural modeling was refined and carried to completion for the Eu-doped fluoroberyllate system, and was initiated for the fluorophosplate. These activities are discussed in detail in subsequent sections.
