Abstract

Energy transfer between Mn(II) and Nd(in) in glasses of composition: 36 PbF2, 24 ZnF2, 35 GaF3, 2 AlF3, 3 YF3, 4 LaF3 in which manganese may replace all the zinc, and neodymium some lanthanum, is studied by dynamic and static methods. Both methods arrive at the same results indicating linear dependence of transfer probability on donor concentration. These results also demonstrate energy storage in the manganese-neodymium system having applications in Nd lasers.
