RESUMO

This work consists in the optical characterization of LiNbO3:Er3+ single crystals, aiming to verify the possibility of this system being an active media for laser. The absorption and emission results were satisfactory, being compatible enough with the theoretical model adopted. The luminescence lifetime of the 4S3/2 - 4I15/2 e 4F9/2 - 4I15/2 transitions was measured at the ambient and liquid nitrogen temperature, showing that they are possible candidates for laser transitions. The behavior of the undesirable OH- and Fe2+ impurities was also studied through thermal treatment. The control of these concentrations was done using the EPR and optical absorption techniques and the results showed it is possible to eliminate such impurities in a totally controlled way.
