We have used time-resolved fluorescence line narrowing to study energy transfer among Yb/sup 3+/ ions in a silicate glass as a function of energy mismatch between donors and acceptors and temperature from 4.2 to 51 K. The observed spectra are consistent with a one-phonon-assisted multipolar interaction between Yb/sup 3+/ ions with a variation with site separation of r/sup -13/. These results are compared to that reported for other rare-earth-ion transitions in glasses and crystals.
