Abstract
The energy transfer spectral characteristics in ceramics and the relevant spectral and emission decay data on single-doped (especially temperature effects) and codoped samples are presented. The transfer efficiencies depend strongly on content, attaining for at . The resonant energy transfer , involving in sites and in and sites, is dominated by a dipole–dipole interaction with a microparameter at . The possibility of using this system for Nd-sensitized laser emission from room-to-cryogenic temperatures is discussed.
