Popis: BOTH single crystals and glasses1 have been successfully used as hosts for rare earth laser materials. We wish to report the observation of sharp line fluorescence of fn orbital transitions resulting from rare earth chelates dissolved in organic vinylic monomers which were polymerized to solid solutions. These materials are more easily and accurately doped than either glasses or single crystals. The simplicity of preparation and workability of these materials make them particularly attractive for possible laser applications. The observed sharp fluorescent lines may be attributed to uniform distribution and equivalent surroundings of the rare earth ion as found in single crystals.
