Traditional applications of the Judd-Ofelt (JO) theory to the analysis of the Eu3+ optical spectra make use of the emission transitions originating from the D-5(0) manifold. In the present paper, we report an alternative method of evaluating the JO intensity parameters from the Eu3+ emission spectra based on the D-5(1) -> E-7(0,1) transitions. The reduced matrix elements of the unit tensor operators are re-calculated for the D-5(0,1,2 ->) F-7(0,1, ..., 6) Eu3+ transitions in the intermediate coupling approximation using the average electrostatic and spin-orbit coupling parameters. The suggested method was tested by analyzing the emission spectra of the Eu3+ doped GdAlO3, LaF3, NaYF4, Y2O3, ZrO2, YNbO4, ZBLA and PIGLZ hosts. It is shown that the developed method is more accurate for the hosts with relatively high D-5(1) level population, which emphasizes its high potential and applicability. In addition to the JO analysis, the CIE chromaticity coordinates are calculated for the investigated spectra.
