Abstract

Tb³⁺ ion is one of the important rare earth ions which have been used to produce stimulated emission at the green wavelength. Due to its special property of fluorescence dynamics, especially its better physical property compared with the crystalline, the TbP₅O₁₄ noncrystalline is a rather promising material to make a small-sized laser at the green wavelength.
