A crystal field analysis of the reported optical spectra of Nd 3+ in the series of aluminium and gallium garnets LuAG, YAG, GGG, LuGG, and YGG is presented. The reliability of the crystal field parameters determined in this way is confirmed by comparison with ESR g ‐values given in the literature. The results obtained represent a basis for a further study of the relation between the crystal field parameters of rare earths in garnets and the structure of the coordination dodecahedron.
