Abstract

Crystal chemistry and crystal growth are prior to any detailed investigation of a material that is expected to show interesting linear and nonlinear optical properties. Here, we report on (i) the possibility of exploring the luminescence and optical hole burning properties of Sm2+ in oxide lattices, and (ii) laser frequency shifting crystals showing stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effects.
