Notes:
Single crystal of nominally undoped YVO4 exhibits a broad-band emission centered at 450 nm when excited at any wavelength between 620–440 nm with short pulses delivered by an optical parametric oscillator. The broad-band emission has been assigned to the transition from the lowest energy excited states 3T1, 3T2 to the ground 1A1 state of the VO43−, whereas the excitation mechanism is supposed to be an excited state absorption from a hitherto unidentified intermediate state. This state is likely to be related with V4+ and/or V3+ ions whose presence in YVO4 is generally recognized. The material may have a potential as a tunable source of blue radiation provided a way is found to increase the ground state absorption. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
