Abstract
The spectroscopic properties of Fe3+ in tetrahedral d-sites of GGG and the effect of co-doping with Tm3+ are investigated. It is thus shown that a very efficient energy transfer from Fe3+ (d) to Tm3+ takes place due to a good superposition of Fe emission and Tm [MATH] absorption spectra and due to a favorable packing of the d-sites around the dodecahedral site occupied by Tm. It was also found that the Fe-sensitized luminescence of Tm has different spectral and temporal characteristics from the normal emission of this ion in GGG.
