Abstract:

The McCumber relation can be deduced without assuming that all active centers have the same structure of sublevels. The range of validity of the McCumber relation is the same as that of the effective emission cross-section.

【18】Until now, there is no evidence that the concept of the effective cross-sections does not apply to Yb:Gd2SiO5. The strong violation of the McCumber relation in graphics presented by Refs. [6-8] can be attributed also to the errors at the measurement of 'sigma'e('omega') caused by the reabsorption in vicinity of the zero-line[11].
