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.     

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     

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.

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.

在NaGdF4：Tm3+, Dy3+中Gd3+间的能量迁移及Gd3+-Dy3+能量传递量子效率

基于量子剪裁基本原理,通过光谱技术研究NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺在一个真空紫外光子激发下获得两个蓝色光子的可能性。在这种化合物中,量子剪裁通过下转换,即通过应用不同镧系离子间的能量传递进行。通过对Tm 4f¹²-4f¹¹5d激发,部分能量从Tm³⁺离子5d态直接传递给Gd³⁺,然后在Gd³⁺-Tm³⁺之间发生交叉弛豫,剩余能量从Gd³⁺传递给Dy³⁺,产生两个可见光子发射,一个来自Tm³⁺的¹G₄-³H₆跃迁,另一个来自Dy³⁺的⁴F_9/2-⁶H_15/2跃迁。主要研究获得以NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺为基础的新型具有更高效率,更高稳定性和更强真空紫外(VUV)吸收量子剪裁发光粉的可能性。各种光谱技术,如光致发光、激发和衰减等被用来表征不同Dy³⁺浓度掺杂NaGdF₄中Gd³⁺晶格间能量迁移引起的施主Gd³⁺和受主Dy³⁺之间的能量传递。结果表明Gd³⁺离子之间存在能量迁移,随之交换相互作用引起施主与受主(Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺)之间的能量传递。通过Bursh-tein等人关于激发态的弛豫理论,施主-受主能量传递参数k_DS可以从Gd³⁺的⁶P_7/2发射的衰减计算出。Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺能量传递量子效率也可以得到。NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺和NaGdF₄:Tm³⁺,Dy³⁺是由水热法制备的,NaGdF₄:Dy³⁺是由文献[4]方法制备的。发射光谱和激发光谱通过自制的VUV光谱仪和F-4500测量。衰减曲线由OPO激光器激发获得Gd³⁺-Dy³⁺之间能量传递量子效率在受主浓度大约在N_A=0.6%时达到最佳值,并且明显地观测到浓度猝灭效应。

S+C band optical amplification in Er3+-Tm3+ co-doped fiber

A new type of optical amplifier based on co-doping erbium in thulium doped fiber is proposed to realize S+C band gain by dual-wavelength (800+1410 nm) pumping scheme which is obtainable from laser diode.A novel model is established for the co-doped fiber considering the Er3+ to Tm3+ energy transfer process.Using appropriate fiber parameters and energy transfer parameters, the coupled rate equations are analyzed and solved; the concentrations of Er3+ and Tm3+ and fiber length were optimized to get more uniform gain. The results predicted that the S+C band gain can be achieved at the same time by co-doping erbium in thulium doped fluoride fiber.
