| Abstract | BaMgF4 single crystals doped with Nd3þ are of great interest as possible active media for VUV–UV and mid-IR all solid-state lasers. The luminescence spectroscopy and the excited state dynamics of these crystals are investigated for the first time upon VUV excitation using synchrotron radiation. The material shows fast Nd3þ 5d–4f emission upon direct VUV excitation into Nd3þ 5d levels. The decay kinetics of the Nd3þ 5d–4f emission in this host lattice upon direct VUV excitation of 5d levels is characterized by a lifetime of about 14 ns with no significant rise after the excitation pulse. No significant temperature dependence of the lifetime is observed within the range 8–300 K. & 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
