The paramagnetic circular dichroism of the 4 f− 5 d absorption bands of Ca F 2: Tm 2+ was investigated at 2.0 K and 9.0 kG. Using group theory it is shown that the bands can be separated into E 5 2 and G 3 2 character. Experimentally it was found that in this case the bands are primarily G 3 2 in character. Optical pumping experiments were performed where changes as large as±20% were easily observed in the electron-paramagnetic-resonance absorption signal at X-band frequencies and 1.5 K by changing the polarization of the pump light from right to left circular. A method for optically monitoring the difference in the population of the two Zeeman components of the ground state is also reported on.
