Absorption and fluorescence spectra and fluorescence lifetime measurements are presented for Ce 3+ :Er 3+ :Yb 3+ :YVO 4 crystals and compared to the corresponding data for Er 3+ :Yb 3+ :YVO 4 crystals. These results show that doping with Ce 3+ ions reduces the lifetime of the 4 I 11/2 state of Er 3+
