doi:10.3724/SP.J.1077.2010.09878

Abstract

Abstract:

Up-conversion luminescence properties and energytransfer processes in Er³⁺,Yb3⁺ and Tb³⁺ single doped or co-doped oxyfluorogermanate glasses were studied under 980nm laser excitation. Green and red up-conversion emissions around 524, 546 and 658nm which can be assigned to the Tb³⁺∶⁵D₄→⁷F_J (J=5 and 0) and Er³⁺∶(²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2 and ⁴F_9/2)→^4I_15/2 transitions, respectively, were strongly observed at room temperature. Up-conversion luminescence intensity depended on the YbF₃, TbF₃ concentration and excitationpower density. The energy transfer processes among Er³⁺, Yb³⁺ and Tb3⁺, and up-conversion mechanisms were discussed.

Key words: up-conversion luminescence, mechanism, oxyfluorogermanate glasses; Er³⁺/Yb³⁺/Tb³⁺ co-doped, energy transfer
