Abstract
- The development and characterization of the optical properties of a neodymium(III)‐doped 42.75AlF3–33.25CaF2–19BaF2–5YF3 (Nd3+‐doped BCA‐5Y) glass in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) region are reported. Photoluminescence peaks at 180 and 227 nm are observed upon excitation with the 157 nm emission of a F2 laser. The dominant 180 nm emission peak is assigned to the 4f25d–4f3 (4I9/2 level) transition in Nd3+. This emission peak exhibits a fast, single exponential luminescence with a 16 ns decay time. The strong luminescence intensity and the fast decay time allude to its prospects for scintillator applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
