Cooperative energy transfer and frequency upconversion in Yb3+-Tb 3+ and Nd 3+-Yb 3+-Tb 3+ codoped GdAl3(BO3)4 phosphors

Polycrystalline GdAl₃(BO₃)₄ phosphors codoped with Yb³⁺/Tb³⁺ and/or Nd³⁺/Yb³⁺/Tb³⁺ have been synthesized by combustion method. Upon excitation with a 980 nm laser diode, an intense green upconversion luminescence has been observed in GdAl₃(BO₃)₄:Yb,Tb phosphor. The quadratic dependence of the luminescence on the pump-laser power indicating a cooperative energy transfer process. Meanwhile, it is noticed that upon excitation with 808 nm laser diode, intense luminescence has clearly been detected in GdAl₃(BO₃)₄:Nd,Yb,Tb phosphor. The luminescence intensity exhibits also a quadratic dependence on incident pump-laser power. However, no green-emission has been observed in GdAl₃(BO₃)₄ phosphors codoped with Yb³⁺/Tb³⁺ or Nd³⁺/Tb³⁺ respectively upon excited at 808 nm laser diode. A proposed upconversion mechanism involving energy transfer from Nd³⁺ to Yb³⁺, and then a cooperative energy transfer process from two excited Yb³⁺ to Tb³⁺ has been presented.     

Stark splitting and energy transfer between Dy3+-Ho3+ and between Tb3+-Er3+ in calcium-lithium borate glass

Fluorescence spectrum of Dy³⁺, Dy³⁺-Ho³⁺, Tb³⁺ and Tb³⁺-Er³⁺ doped in calibo glass have been studied using Ar⁺ and excimer lasers. Non-radiative energy transfer from trivalent dysprosium and terbium (donors) to holmium and erbium (acceptors) respectively has been observed on the basis of decrease in the life time of the levels and reduction in fluorescence intensity of Dy³⁺ and Tb³⁺ on increasing Ho and Er concentrations. The interaction mechanism of donor and acceptor ions is found to be dipole-dipole in both cases. Various parameters such as donor-acceptor distances, non-radiative energy transfer efficiency (η) and energy transfer probability (P _da) have been computed. Stark splitting have also been marked in several intense transition of the two.     

Optical spectroscopy of Cr3+ and Cr3+-Tm3+ in alkaline silicate glasses

Conclusions Alkaline silicate glasses seem to be good candidates as host materials for codoping with Cr³⁺ and Tm³⁺. Cr³⁺ ions occupy mainly low-field sites in them, and their broadband emission overlaps Tm³⁺ excitation. As a consequence very high efficiency for the energy transfer Cr³⁺→Tm³⁺ is achieved with moderate concentrations of these ions. Moreover, the average lifetime of the Cr³⁺ ions in codoped glasses is long enough to allow significant energy storage by flashlamp pumping.

Eu3+ luminescence and Gd3+-Eu3+ energy transfer in K5Li2GdF10:Eu3+

Polycrystalline samples of europium-doped K₅Li₂GdF₁₀ have been obtained by a slow cooling of melted compound and investigated using spectroscopy methods. Luminescence from the ⁵ D ₂ level of Eu³⁺ is found to be weak. Intense visible emission upon excitation into the ⁵ D ₂ or higher energy levels has been attributed to overlapping transitions from long-lived ⁵ D ₁ and ⁵ D ₀ levels. A strong increase of the ⁵ D ₀ emission at the expense of the ⁵ D ₁ emission occurs between 5 K and 25 K without significant change of the ⁵ D ₁ lifetime. To account for this, it is supposed that both the radiative and the nonradiative transition rates are temperature-dependent. Efficient energy transfer from the ⁶ G _J levels of Gd³⁺ to Eu³⁺ ions has been evidenced by excitation spectra in the VUV region and VUV-excited luminescence. It has been concluded that the cross relaxation contributes to the energy-transfer process. Received: 8 May 2001 / Accepted: 11 May 2001 / Published online: 25 July 2001     

GdBO3：Pr3+，Yb3+中Pr3+到Yb3+的能量传递及发光性质

采用高温固相法制备了一系列单掺或双掺Pr3+和Yb3+的GdBO3材料,分别测试分析了材料的物相结构和发光性质。在446 nm蓝光( Pr3+：3 H4→3 P2)激发下,检测到Yb3+的近红外特征发射,表明样品中存在Pr3+到Yb3+的能量传递。 Pr3+的掺杂浓度一定时,样品的发光会随着Yb3+掺杂浓度的改变而发生变化。通过对比不同掺杂情况下Pr3+：3 P0能级的衰减曲线,发现随着Yb3+的掺杂浓度的增加,该能级的荧光寿命不断缩短;同时利用不同条件下的衰减特性计算得出不同 Yb3+掺杂浓度样品的能量传递效率。用 Inokuti-Hirayama模型分析表明Pr3+-Yb3+能量传递类型为偶极子-偶极子相互作用。

Excitation energy transfer between Er3+ and Tm3+ in LiNbO3

Conclusions Nonradiative energy transfer between similar and different rare-earth ions in LiNbO₃ has been evidenced for the first time. The contribution of nonradiative energy transfer to the decay of the¹G₄ and³H₄ levels of thulium and the⁴S_3/2 and⁴I_13/2 levels of erbium is significant for activator concentrations of the order of several thousand ppm in LiNbO₃. The excitation of higher-lying levels of both activators is transferred faster in codoped crystal to the lowest luminescent levels, from which the luminescence in the 1–2-μm spectral region occurs. This accelerated relaxation is advantageous for broadband optical pumping since the contribution of radiative transitions competing with the³F₄−³H₆ laser transition of thulium is reduced. On the other hand, it appears that erbium ions will influence adversely the efficiency of a laser-diode-pumped LiNbO₃∶Er, Tm laser operating near 1.8 μm since the part of the³H₄ excitation transferred to erbium ions is emitted from the long-lived⁴I_11/2 level of Er³⁺. Furthermore, the⁴I_13/2 excitation is not transferred fully to thulium ions and is lost in⁴I_13/2−⁴I_15/2 emission. Lithium niobate singly doped with thulium is more promising since the cross-relaxation process that transfers the excitation from the³H₄ level to the³F₄ level appears to be efficient in this host.
