Abstract
Lasers evolved based on spectroscopic work that preceded them. In turn advanced spectroscopic techniques evolved because of the availability of lasers. Lasers can serve as both pump sources and spectroscopic probe beams while improvements in crystal growth needed for emerging laser technology enable high concentrations of lanthanide series elements. These technology advances can produce extreme effects in laser materials under consideration. Extreme effects include absorption saturation, amplified spontaneous emission, energy transfer, self-quenching, up conversion, and excited state absorption. These effects will be described along with methods of analyzing the data.
