Abstract

Absorption spectra of the Nd³⁺ ions in an orthorhombic δ-BiB₃O₆ single crystal were measured in the spectral range 11,000-20,500 cm^-1. The f-f transition intensities were analyzed in terms of the Judd-Ofelt theory, and the following parameters of the theory were obtained: Ω₂ = 6.35 × 10^-20 cm², Ω₄ = 4.86 × 10^-20 cm ², and Ω₆ = 11.233 × 10^-20 cm ². The strengths, spontaneous emission probabilities, branching ratios, spectroscopic quality factor and excited state radiative lifetime were calculated for laser transitions from the ⁴F_3/2 state to ⁴I_J manifold. Spectroscopic properties of Nd ³⁺:δ-BiB₃O₆ crystal favor lasing at 1.3 μm, where this crystal possesses near non-critical phase matching for second harmonic generation.
