Nonradiative Spectral and Spatial Energy Transfer in Ruby

Abstract: The first experimental evidence for distinct spectral and spatial energy transfer in ruby via nonradiative coupling is presented. Monochromatic laser excitation of the R { line results in a rise of the inhomogeneous background on a millisecond time scale, consistent with a one-phonon-assisted process and contrary to recent theory. However, timeresolved studies of trap fluorescence suggest a rapid, coherent, spatial transfer within the R l line which does not shift frequency.Of all the optically active impurity… Show more

“…The FLN experiments on A1203:Cr3+(0.9%) of Seizer and coworkers [9,10] indicate that single ion to single ion energy transfer proceeds mainly via spectral diffusion, i.e. via a phonon-assisted process showing a typical linear dependence of the transfer rate with temperature [12].…”

“…It is usually observed in FLN experiments as temperature dependent spectral diffusion [9,10] and is thus a phononassisted process [10,11]. The multi-line spectra of the neat title compound [Rh(bpy)3INaCr(ox)3]ClO 4 call for a different explanation.…”

“…Very detailed studies about ruby at various temperatures have been performed for efficiencies [25] as well as for energy migration both by nonradiative and radiative processes between two Cr ions [26,27]. Self-trapping of radiation had been essentially considered an artifact to be eliminated [22][23][24], and it had not been much studied for itself, except in [25] where it had been used to separate the behavior of the purely electronic R lines from their side-bands.…”

“…This was at once perhaps the first demonstration of the utility of synchrotron radiation for luminescence studies, and the substantive determination of the charge-transfer pump bands of R-line fluorescence of Cr 3+ . This was followed by other pioneering studies of nonradiative spectral and spatial energy transfer in ruby [5] and in praesodymium trihalides [6]. Exciton and energy-transfer phenomena in antiferromagnetic MnF 2 followed in quick succession from 1978 to around 1981 [7][8][9].…”
