Abstract
Six absorption bands of Tm3+:Sc2SiO5 crystal have been investigated by decomposing each absorption band into a series of Lorentzian peaks. Polarized light of two polarizations was transmitted in three perpendicular directions through a crystal shaped as a parallelepiped with polished faces. The results are presented in the form of tables containing the parameters of the found Lorentzian peaks: central wavelength, width, and height.
