Abstract

The absorption cross section of the ⁴F_3/2–⁴I_11/2 (1.056 μ) and ⁴F_3/2–⁴I_13/2 (1.334 μ) transitions of Nd⁺³ in SeOCl₂, and the overall radiative lifetime of the ⁴F_3/2 state, have been calculated from spectroscopic measurements. Values of the order of 8.5×10⁻²⁰ cm² for σ_ν of the 1.056-μ transition and 288 μsec for τ_overall were found, implying a quantum efficiency of the order of unity.
