Abstract

Low temperature spectra of SrB4O7:Pr3+, LaB3O6:Pr3+ and LaMgB5O10:Pr3+
were investigated by synchrotron radiation VUV light. Under VUV excitation,
photon cascade emission was found in SrB4O7:Pr3+, LaB3O6:Pr3+ and LaMgB5O10:Pr3+. All peaks in emission spectra were assigned. Because high phonon energy in borates results in non-radiative relaxation between 3P0 and 1D2 states of Pr3+, the second step emission 3P0→3HJ is very low in SrB4O7:Pr3+ and even is absent in LaB3O6:Pr3+ and LaMgB5O10:Pr3+. In the excitation spectra of LaB3O6:Pr3+ and LaMgB5O10:Pr3+, along with the 4f5d absorption bands, a weak line due to 3H41S0 transition also was detected. From the position of 3H41S0 transition, the energy difference of 1S0 state and the lowest 4 f5d state was determined.
