Abstract

Optical absorption spectra of Sm(DBM)3 doped PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) in near infrared and visible region are presented. The energy levels were assigned and analyzed in terms of the free-ion Hamiltonian model. Energy levels and reduced matrix elements calculations were carried out using the complete 198 SLJ basis sets for the 4f5 configuration. Judd-Ofelt parameters were evaluated and used to predict the radiative properties of the sample. The theoretical and experimental values for radiative lifetimes and branching ratios were discussed.
