Optical Studies of Dynamical Processes in Disordered Materials. Annual Progress Report, March 1, 1984-February 28, 1985

摘要

Aim is to conduct a comprehensive study of processes which affect the relaxation and energy diffusion of optical energy residing in the impurity activated disordered insulators. During this grant period we have continued to consider various non-radiative processes affecting the line widths of optical transitions and the general quantum efficiency of luminescent glasses. We have also begun our analysis of dynamical processes leading to energy transfer in rare earth-activated glasses. Finally, we have begun some exploratory studies of Cr exp 3+ in ceramics with our aim being once again to study various dynamic interactions which impact on the efficiency of these materials.
