Abstract

A study of the luminescence characteristics of crystalline lithium triborate LiB3O5 (LBO) is reported. Investigation of the excitation and photoluminescence spectra of nominally pure, oriented LBO crystals within broad spectral (1.2–10.5 eV) and temperature (8–500 K) regions, complemented by optical spectroscopy at the long-wavelength fundamental-absorption edge, has revealed that the broad-band LBO luminescence in the 3.5–4.5-eV region is efficiently excited by photons having energies above 7.5 eV in recombination processes and under corpuscular or x-ray irradiation. The totality of the experimental data obtained permitted a conclusion that the LBO luminescence has an intrinsic nature and that it originates from radiative decay of relaxed electronic excitations.
