The spectral parameters of neodymium ions in anisotropic YLiF4, SrMoO4, PbMoO4, CaMoO4, SrWO4, and BaWO4 crystals with a scheelite structure are experimentally studied in the region of 1 μm. The luminescence spectra of neodymium ions at the 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 transition in these crystals exhibit pronoun...
