Abstract
The lifetime of the 1.5 μm transition of Er3+ doped LiNbO3 has been measured for different doping concentrations and geometries of luminescence collection. It has been found that this emission suffers of a strong radiation trapping effect, which affects the measured lifetime depending on the concentration and the geometry adopted.
