The absorption spectra of Er/sup 3 +/ diluted in LuPO/sub 4/ and HfSiO/sub 4/ crystals have been measured from 6000 to 28 000 cm/sup -1/ at liquid He and N/sub 2/ temperatures. Zeeman spectra were obtained in the visible region. The transitions were assigned and fitted to a semiempirical Hamiltonian with ten adjustable parameters. Satisfactory fits were obtained including reasonable agreement between calculated and measured g values.
