Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 128))

Abstract

Materials doped with transition-metal and rare-earth ions have been investigated intensively from the viewpoint of applications to various optical devices. In this chapter, optical properties of paramagnetic lanthanide-and transition-metaldoped materials, which are essential for the discussion of optical applications, are described along with the mechanisms of spectral line broadening, energy transfer, and so on. Some of the issues relevant to the following topics are also discussed; (1) solid-state laser materials, (2) long-lasting phosphorescence and photostimulable phosphors, and (3) room-temperature persistent spectral hole-burning.
