Measurements were made of the rate constants of transfer of the excitation energy by the interaction between Er3+ ions excited to 4I11/2,13/2 states in Y3Al5O12 crystals. The constants were used to determine the influence of the cooperative processes on lasing of an Y3Al5O12:Er3+ crystal as a result of the 4I11/2–4I13/2 transition.
