Stark level analysis of the spectral line shape of electronic transitions in rare earth ions embedded in host crystals

Rare earth ions embedded in host crystals are of great interest for many applications. Due to the crystal field of the host material, the energy levels of the rare earth ions split into several Stark levels. The resulting broadening of the spectral line shapes of transitions between those levels det...
