A study of the infrared and Raman spectra of single crystals and powders of ZnGa 2 O 4 yields the following k = 0 phonon frequencies: 175 cm −1 ( T 1 u ), 328 cm −1 ( T 1 u ), 420 cm −1 ( T 1 u ), 570 cm −1 ( T 1 u ), 467 cm −1 ( T 2 g ), 611 cm −1 ( T 2 g ), 638 cm −1 ( E g ) and 714 cm −1 ( A 1 g ). The results are compared with the frequencies of the vibronic sidebands of the Cr 3+ R line emission as observed in ZnGa 2 O 4 : Cr 3+ . It is found that the strogest vibronics of the R lines are due to coupling of the Cr 3+ electrons with the T 1u modes of the ZnGa 2 O 4 lattice, especially with the two higher frequency T 1u modes.
