✦ Synopsis

The anti-Stokes luminescence from six excited-state Stark manifolds of CmBrs was observed at both 300 and 77 K by using dye laser excitation. The applicable mechanism for the production of the anti-Stokes luminescence is discussed and the crystal field splittings of the luminescence manifolds are correlated with the compound's crystal structure. The very low background produced by this method allows the observation of luminescence from excited states normally obscured by matrix scatter and matrix luminescence.
