The fluorescence spectra and lifetimes of divalent Rh, Ru, Pt, and Ir ions in alkali halide crystals are measured using pulsed nitrogen laser excitation. Emission from both the charge transfer states and the excited d levels is observed. Changes in the relative intensities and lifetimes are monitored as a function of temperature, annealing, and radiation treatment. The results are interpreted in terms of the possible application of these materials for tunable solid state lasers.
