Abstract
Electric and magnetic dipole transition probabilities, fluorescence branching ratios, integrated emission coefficients, fluorescence efficiencies, and fluorescence lifetimes are determined for the lower lying states of Pr:LaCl3 using the Judd-Ofelt theory and calculated multiphonon emission probabilities. The results are used to characterize demonstrated mid-IR laser transitions and predict new potential mid-IR laser transitions in Pr:LaCl3
