Abstract
Emission spectrum of pure AgCl crystals at room temperature after ruby laser excitation was measured. The emission consists of a continuous fluorescence band with the maximum at about 460 nm which is at sufficiently high excitation intensities covered with characteristic line structure emission. The appearance of continous emission at this temperature was in accordance with experimental results explained by the increase of the radiative transition probability in AgCl crystals.
