Abstract
Several weak absorption bands have been observed in the optical absorption spectra of pure and rareearthdoped YAl3BO34 single crystals in the 3350– 3650 cm−1 wave number region Two of them peaking at about 3377 cm−1 and 3580 cm−1 in the 8 K spectra appear in most of the samples They are tentatively attributed to the stretching mode of OH− ions incorporated in the crystal during the growth An additional absorption band at about 5250 cm−1 at 8 K has also been detected in almost all samples The temperature and polarization dependences of these bands and their possible origin are discussed
