Memories of photon energy, polarization and phase in luminescence of rare earth ions under resonant light excitation

Luminescence is studied in Ca(PO3)2 glass doped with Eu3+ under resonant cw dye-laser excitation. From the breadth of the resonance fluorescence line, the homogeneous spectral width of the inhomogeneously broadened 7F0−5D0 transition is determined directly. Further, this experiment gives the first e...

Summary:Luminescence is studied in Ca(PO3)2 glass doped with Eu3+ under resonant cw dye-laser excitation. From the breadth of the resonance fluorescence line, the homogeneous spectral width of the inhomogeneously broadened 7F0−5D0 transition is determined directly. Further, this experiment gives the first example of the identification of the transition character by the polarization memory in an amorphous material. Relation between luminescence and scattering under resonant light excitation is also discussed.
