Fluorescent lifetime of Er<sup>3+</sup> <sup>3</sup>I<sub>13/2</sub> level in BK-7 borosilicate glass

It is established that the B<sup>3+</sup> ions exist only in the form of [BO4] units in BK-7 borosilicate glass. This limits the maximum vibrational energy at peak to 1200 /cm rather than 1400 /cm, as is found in borate glasses, and explains the long lifetime of the Er<sup>3+</s...
