Abstract :
We report a fundamental spectroscopic research of Ho:Lu2O3 in order to evaluate the laser potential of the green transition. Crystals were grown by the heat-exchanger and Nacken-Kyropoulos method and the spectroscopic investigations include temperature dependent lifetime measurements as well as the determination of the ground state absorption, the excited state absorption, and the emission cross sections.
