Abstract
Under reducing conditions, single crystal of LiYF4 doped with 762 ppm of U3+ were obtained. Absorption and fluorescence spectra of this system are presented as well as the energy level scheme of the lasing transition. Oscillator strength and laser cross section between Stark levels of the [MATH] transition are calculated.
