Persistent hole burning is observed in a europium doped sodium borate glass from 10 to 100 K. Hole burning efficiency increased 18× when 5% yttrium oxide was added to the glass mixture. Hole burning was observed up to 300 K in Eu3+, Y3+ Co-doped glass.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
