Abstract
A simple single configuration coordinate crystal field model has been developed to predict the excited state absorption (ESA) spectra of Cr3+ in hosts where the 4T2g is the lowest excited state. Two spin allowed transitions are predicted to lie near 19,000 and 7000 cm−1 for Cr3+ in a typical fluoride host. On the other hand, ESA from a 2E lowest excited state is more complex having a number of near infrared and visible transitions to a rich manifold of high energy doublets.
