Commentaar over activators en spectra:

Broad band peaking at 455 nm (TiO₆). lines at 680, 684, 695-697, 711, 734 and band peaking near 680 nm, both due to Cr³⁺

It is established by Tarashchan that all photoluminescence characteristics of variously colored topazes from Ouro Preto, Brazil are due to three structurally non-equivalent Cr3+ centers isomorphically substituting Al3+ in the topaz structure and forming [CrO₄F₂]⁷⁻, [CrO₄OH,F]⁷⁻, and [CrO₄(OH)₂]⁷⁻ complexes. (Source: Luminescence spectroscopic study of Cr3+ in Brazilian topazes from Ouro Preto by A. N. Tarashchan and Al. see below).

Laser-induced time-resolved technique enables to detect three different Cr³⁺ and possibly Mn⁴⁺ and (TiO₄) emission centers (Gaft et al. 2003a)
