Experimental luminescence and selective-emission (SE) spectra of YAG:Er3+ (10 at.%) and CaF2:Er3+ (1 at.%) single crystals and Er2O3 polycrystal under laser and laser thermal excitation of the Er3+-ion multiplets are compared. Luminescence spectra under resonant excitation are determined by multiplet population relaxation with the corresponding radiative and nonradiative probabilities. The form of the SE spectra is determined by the thermal population of the multiplets and the probabilities of only radiative transitions. The SE band at 800 nm (4I9/2 → 4I15/2) is an indicator of high-temperature thermal emission of Er3+ ions. The absence of this band in luminescence spectra is explained by the short lifetime of the τ(4I9/2) level of 53 ns at T = 300 K.
