Tb 3+ -doped YAlO 3 (YAP) single crystal was grown by Czochralski (Cz) method. Based on the polarized absorption spectra, the spectroscopic parameters were calculated to be Ω 2 = 3.49 × 10 −20 cm 2 , Ω 4 = 5.87 × 10 −20 cm 2 and Ω 6 = 2.55 × 10 −20 cm 2 , and then the spontaneous transition rate, fluorescent branching ratio and radiative lifetime of 5 D 4 multiplet were obtained. The yellow emission cross sections of 5 D 4 → 7 F 4 transition were calculated to be 1.72 × 10 −22 cm 2 , 2.73 × 10 −22 cm 2 and 2.65 × 10 −22 cm 2 for a, b and c polarization, respectively. The fluorescence lifetime of the 5 D 4 multiplet was fitted to be 1.72 ms. All the data indicate that Tb:YAP crystal is a promising candidate for yellow laser operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
