Abstract
Novel cw, time-resolved, and optical double resonance modes of EPR spectroscopy provide a detailed characterization of a new laser material, Mn:Ba3(VO4)2. The presence of both Mn4+ and Mn5+ centers in shown by cw EPR spectroscopy. Spin-echo modulation effects provide experimental evidence that the manganese substitutes for vanadium at tetrahedral lattice sites. A new spin-echo optical double resonance technique is introduced to selectively probe the near IR absorption spectrum of the Mn5+ center, in order to prove that Mn^+ is the active ion.
