Abstract
Exciton absorption bandwidths have been measured in a quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet CsMnCl3.2 H2O and a three-dimensional MnF2 in magnetic fields oriented along crystal "easy" axes. In one-dimensional antiferromagnets exciton-magnon interaction is shown to result in a considerable broadening of exciton bands in the vicinity of the critical field of the spin-flop transition.
