Abstract

In this work we studied the optical spectra of dysprosium and ytterbium doped double chloride MePb₂Cl₅:RE³⁺ (Me equals K, Rb), and double fluoride LiYF₄:RE³⁺ (RE³⁺ equals Dy, Yb) crystals. RE³⁺ doped double chloride and double fluoride crystals have been grown, by using Bridgeman technique. Optical spectra were studied, intensity parameters are determined using Judd-Ofelt method and radiative probabilities and branching ratio were calculated. Yb³⁺ -Dy³⁺ energy transfer processes in KPb₂Cl₅:Dy³⁺,Yb³⁺ and LiYF₄:Dy³⁺,Yb³⁺ were considered.
