Abstract

We present recent results from the CLEO Collaboration on leptonic decay rates of DD and DsD_s near ccˉc\bar{c} production threshold. From these decay rates, we extract the decay constants, f_D = (222.6+-16.7^{+2.8}_{-3.4}) MeV, f_Ds = (274+-10+-5) MeV, and the ratio f_Ds/f_D = 1.23+-0.11+-0.03.
