Laser selective excitation of praseodymium ions in hydrogenated fluorite crystals

The techniques of laser selective excitation have been successfully applied to study the multitude of spectroscopic sites present in hydrogenated SrF₂:Prᶾ⁺and CaF₂:Prᶾ⁺ crystals. Many optical transitions of the tetragonally sited Prᶾ⁺ions have been characterised using well defined polarisation rules...
