Abstract
McCumber theory describes the relationship between the absorption and emission cross-sections of ionic luminescence centers and is frequently used for determining absorption and emission cross-sections. However, the present application method of this theory seems complicated and exposes some faultiness. In this work, we proposed a simple and reliable procedure for determining the absorption and emission cross-sections based on McCumber theory with the assistance of Einstein's A/B coefficient relationship. The route we proposed was applied to confirm the absorption cross-sections of the transitions from 4I15/2 to 2H11/24S3/24F9/24I11/2, and 4I13/2 of Er3+ in the NaY(WO4)2 compound. The absorption cross-sections determined from our proposed route were compared with those derived from a traditional approach, and it was found that the results derived from our route are reliable. Moreover, the corresponding parameters in the McCumber theoretical expression are referenced for other Er3+-doped luminescent materials.
