A comparative analysis of the broad bands of the ground‐ and excited‐state absorption spectra of d 3 ‐impurity ions iscarried out in a point‐ion crystal field theory model. It is found that for d 3 electrons in the cubic field (d 7 in tetrahedral field) a similarity of these bands should be expected. The similarity results from the particular symmetry of the initial terms of the compared transitions (these terms correspond to the t 3 2 half‐filled shell of the strong cubic field) and from the same orbital symmetry ofthe final state wave functions. Theoretical conclusions are applied to the experimental spectra of Cr 3+ ions in ruby, emerald, and MgO. The use of the similarity of ground‐ and excited‐absorption spectra is suggested. The same analysis is carried out for the d 2 configuration as well.
