Absorption spectra of Pr3+ and Nd3+ diluted in LuPO4 and YPO4 crystals have been measured from 4000 to 30 000 cm−1, at liquid He and N2 temperatures. Fluorescence was observed for Pr3+ and Nd3+ in YPO4, and Zeeman spectra were obtained in the visible region. The transitions were assigned and fit to a semiempirical Hamiltonian with adjustable parameters via a least squares procedure. Satisfactory fits and reasonable agreement between calculated and measured g values were obtained.
