Abstract
The crystal systems of CaF2:Pr3+ and SrF2:Pr3+ into which H−, D−, or T− ions have been diffused exhibit persistent spectral holeburning when particular Pr3+ ion centers are resonantly excited.1 The H− ions replace lattice and interstitial F− ions.2 The holeburning is caused by H− (or D−, T−) ion motion in the lattice following the Pr3+ excitation and the holes have lifetimes of at least several hours at low temperatures.
