(a) Experimental set-up used for conventional photoluminescence, energy-momentum spectroscopy and time-resolved measurements. (b) Photoluminescence spectrum of a single-layer Er3+:Y2O3 sample. (c) Extracted spectrally resolved intrinsic emission rates for ED (blue) and MD (red) transitions obtained from theoretical fit to experimental energy-momentum spectra (Supplementary Fig. 1).
