Abstract

Radiative and nonradiative transition probabilities from the ⁴F_3/2 state of Nd³⁺ in ED‐2 laser glass were measured for ions in different sites using laser‐induced fluorescence line‐narrowing techniques. Both radiative and multiphonon transition probabilities were found to be site dependent, with the relative radiative quantum efficiency varying by as much as 50%.
