The observation of electron trap liberation in MgF doped with Yb using a two-color excitation experiment
P. S. Senanayake, J. P. R. Wells, M. F. Reid +3
We utilize the optical transitions of Yb excited by an ultraviolet optical parametric amplifier to probe electron trap liberation in MgF via the observation of a photo…

Impurity-trapped excitons and electron traps in CaF:Yb and SrF:Yb probed by transient photoluminescence enhancement
P. S. Senanayake, J. P. R. Wells, M. F. Reid +3
CaF:Yb and SrF:Yb crystals have been investigated by a two-color UV + IR transient photoluminescence enhancement technique. The enhancement gives information…

Transient photoluminescence enhancement as a probe of the structure of impurity-trapped excitons in CaF:Yb
Michael F. Reid, Pubudu S. Senanayake, Jon-Paul R. Wells +5
We demonstrate a direct measurement of the energy levels of impurity-trapped excitons in CaF:Yb. The radically different radiative decay rates of the lowest exciton stat…
