Photoluminescence (PL) in PbWO4 single crystals doped with Pr3+, Sm3+, and Er3+ ion, which were grown by the Czochralski method, was studied. By investigating the PL for incident radiation with wavelength of 325 nm (He–Cd Laser), the energy levels of the PL centers were found: The PL levels in the Pr doped single crystal are 3Po and 1D2, that in the Sm-doped one is 4G5/2, and those in the Er doped one are 2H11/2, 4S3/2, and 4F9/2. In conclusion, the characteristics of these single crystals are governed solely by those of the rare-earth dopants, not by the lead tungstate. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
