Abstract
An Er3+:Bi2(MoO4)3 single crystal has been grown by the Czochralski technique. The Stark sublevels of the 4I15/2 and 4I13/2 multiplets of Er3+ ions in the crystal were determined. The polarized absorption spectra, polarized fluorescence spectra, and fluorescence decay curve of the crystal were measured at room temperature and the relevant spectroscopic parameters, including the Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters, spontaneous emission probability, fluorescence branching ratio, radiative lifetime, and stimulated emission cross section, were estimated. The effect of re-absorption on the spectroscopic parameters was discussed. When the crystal was excited at 977 nm, up-conversion green fluorescence was observed and discussed.
