Abstract
Spectra and energy levels of several rare earth (R3+) ions that replace ytrrium (Y3+) ions in dodecahedral sites in the garnet lattice have been analyzed with success over the past several years. Several interpretations have also been advanced to explain additional weak spectra from R3+ ions occupying several different sites caused by local strains or defects due to vacant oxygen sites created during crystal growth. Very little has been reported on the spectra and energy levels of Tm3+:YAG.1
