Abstract

The energy of the 4A24T2 transition of 3d3 ions in octahedral sites decreases with increasing temperature, with a consequent reduction in the energy separation, Δ, between 4T2 and 2E levels. This can significantly affect the spectroscopic properties of Cr3+-doped materials with small Δ values. These materials are of interest because of their possible use in tunable laser systems. Some experimentally measured values of this shift are presented, the mixing of 2E and 4T2 electronic-vibrational states when Δ is small is estimated, and the effects of this mixing on the spectroscopic properties are discussed.
