Abstract
Sharp-line fluorescence and absorption in the region of 7935 Å were observed in -doped and undoped SrTi. It is reasonably established that the fluorescence and absorption are due to the transition ( line) of the ion. Polarization and absorption measurements indicate that the -line transition is magnetic dipole. Fluorescence from -doped SrTi was seen at about 7230 Å. At low temperatures, a temperature-dependent splitting of the -line transition of is seen. It is shown that this is due to the lifting of the degeneracy of the state by the temperature-dependent tetragonal field present in SrTi below 103±2°K. These results are compared with previous measurements on rare-earth ions in SrTi. The possible origin of the tetragonal transition is discussed.
