Rare-earth ions are used in a wide range of emissive devices ranging from lasers to displays where high optical efficiency and narrow line widths are important. While their radiative properties are important, nonradiative properties are also critical since they can reduce optical efficiency and generate heat. In this article, theories for multiphonon relaxation rate are reviewed for rare-earth excited states in solid-state dielectric hosts. A range of various approaches are used to simplify the mathematical form of the rate equations. The H-2(9/2) excited state of Er3+, responsible for a technologically significant green emission, is modeled to show how the various theories manifest an order-of-magnitude variation in the thermal dependence of the multiphonon relaxation rate, as well as anomalous local minima in phonon scattering for temperatures above 0 K. This work proposes a corrective term of two quanta (Delta nu = +2) of the mediating phonon energy to energy gap, so the calculated and the experimentally determined relaxation rates are equal. Radiative quantum efficiencies of both the (1)G(4) -> H-3(5) approximate to 1.3 mu m and F-3(3) -> F-3(2) approximate to 7 mu m of Pr3+ are calculated to show the importance of both proper measurement of phonon energy and application of the multiphonon relaxation rate theory.
