Quasi-one dimensional Er3+–Yb3+ codoped single-crystal MoO3 ribbons: Synthesis,characterization and up-conversion luminescence

The quasi-one dimensional (Q1D) Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ codoped single-crystal MoO₃ ribbons with width range from 1 to 5 μm, and maximum length about 30 μm have been synthesized by the vapor transport method. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, and luminescence spectra. By a 975 nm laser diode (LD) as excitation source, the blue, green and red emission bands centered at about 408, 532, 553 and 657 nm were detected, which attributed to the ²H_9/2 → ⁴I_15/2, ²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2 → ⁴I_15/2 transitions of Er³⁺, respectively. The three-, and two-photon process was responsible for the blue, green and red up-conversion emissions mechanism for the Q1D Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ codoped single-crystal MoO₃ ribbons, respectively. The results suggested that the Q1D Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ codoped single-crystal MoO₃ ribbons will have potential applications in remote bio-imaging and surface enhanced Raman scattering.     

Up conversion luminescence of Yb3+–Er3+ codoped CeO2 nanocrystals with imaging applications

The effects of Yb³⁺ doping on up conversion in Yb³⁺–Er³⁺ co-doped cerium oxide nanocrystals are reported. Green emission around 545 and 560 nm attributed to the ²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2 transitions and red emission around 660 and 680 nm due to ⁴F_9/2→ ⁴I_15/2 transitions under 975 nm excitation were studied at room temperature. Both green and red emission intensities increase as the Yb³⁺ concentration increases from 0%. Emission strength starts to decrease after the Yb³⁺ concentration exceeds a critical amount. The green emission strength peaks around 1% Yb³⁺ concentration while the red emission strength peaks around 4%. An explanation of competition between different decay mechanisms is presented to account for the luminescence dependence on Yb³⁺ concentration. Also, the application of up converting nanoparticles in biomedical imaging is demonstrated.

Enhancement of upconversion luminescence in Tm/Er/Yb-codoped glass ceramic containing LiYF4 nanocrystals

A transparent Er³⁺–Tm³⁺–Yb³⁺ tri-doped oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing LiYF₄ nanocrystals were prepared. Under 980 nm laser diode (LD) pumping, intensive red, green and blue upconversion (UC) was obtained. The blue, green, and red UC radiations correspond to the transitions ¹G₄→³H₆ of Tm³⁺, ²H_11/2/⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2, and ⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2 of Er³⁺ ions, respectively. This is similar to that in Tm³⁺–Yb³⁺ and/or Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ co-doped glass ceramics. However, the blue UC radiations of the Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ co-doped glass ceramics is two-photon process due to cooperative energy transfer. The UC mechanisms were proposed based on spectral, kinetic, and pump power dependence analyses.     

Spectroscopic investigations of Nd-, Er-, Er/Yb-, and Tm-ions doped SiO2-Al2O3-CaF2-GdF3 glasses

This paper reports on the absorption, visible and near-infrared luminescence properties of Nd³⁺, Er³⁺, Er³⁺/2Yb³⁺, and Tm³⁺ doped oxyfluoride aluminosilicate glasses. From the measured absorption spectra, Judd-Ofelt (J-O) intensity parameters (Ω₂, Ω₄ and Ω₆) have been calculated for all the studied ions. Decay lifetime curves were measured for the visible emissions of Er³⁺ (558 nm, green), and Tm³⁺ (650 and 795 nm), respectively. The near infrared emission spectrum of Nd³⁺ doped glass has shown full width at half maximum (FWHM) around 45 nm (for the ⁴F_3/2→⁴I_9/2 transition), 45 nm (for the ⁴F_3/2→⁴I_11/2 transition), and 60 nm (for the ⁴F_3/2→⁴I_13/2 transition), respectively, with 800 nm laser diode (LD) excitation. For Er³⁺, and Er³⁺/2Yb³⁺ co-doped glasses, the characteristic near infrared emission bands were spectrally centered at 1532 and 1544 nm, respectively, with 980 nm laser diode excitation, exhibiting full width at half maximum around 50 and 90 nm for the erbium ⁴I_13/2→⁴I_15/2 transition. The measured maximum decay times of ⁴I_13/2→⁴I_15/2 transition (at wavelength 1532 and 1544 nm) are about 5.280 and 5.719 ms for 1Er³⁺ and 1Er³⁺/2Yb³⁺ (mol%) co-doped glasses, respectively. The maximum stimulated emission cross sections for ⁴I_13/2→⁴I_15/2 transition of Er³⁺ and Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ are 10.81×10⁻²¹ and 5.723×10^-21 cm². These glasses with better thermal stability, bright visible emissions and broad near-infrared emissions should have potential applications in broadly tunable laser sources, interesting optical luminescent materials and broadband optical amplification at low-loss telecommunication windows.     

Improvement of thermal and spectroscopic behavior of Er<Superscript>3+</Superscript>/Ce<Superscript>3+</Superscript> co-doped tellurite glass for lasing materials

Tellurite glasses (TeO₂–ZnO–Nb₂O₅) mono-doped Er³⁺ and co-doped Er³⁺/Ce³⁺ have been prepared using the melt-quenching technique. To evaluate the effect of Ce³⁺ on the structural, thermal stability of glass hosts and fluorescence properties of Er³⁺, X-ray diffraction patterns, Ftir spectra, differential scanning calorimeter curves, absorption spectra, fluorescence emission spectra, fluorescence lifetimes, up-conversion emission spectra of glass samples were measured and investigated. Using Judd–Ofelt theory, we calculated intensity parameters (Ω₂, Ω₄ and Ω₆), spontaneous emission probabilities, the radiative lifetime, luminescence branching factors and the quantum yield of luminescence for ⁴I_13/2 → ⁴I_15/2 transition. The co-doping with Ce³⁺ was effective on the suppression of up-conversion emission of Er³⁺ owing to the phonon-assisted energy transfer: Er³⁺:⁴I_11/2 + Ce³⁺:²F_5/2 → Er³⁺:⁴I_13/2 + Ce³⁺:²F_7/2 which contributed the effective enhancement of 1.53 µm fluorescence emission. The change in optical properties with the addition of Ce³⁺ ions have been discussed and compared with other glasses. Using the Mc Cumber method for the ⁴I_13/2 → ⁴I_15/2 transition, absorption cross-section, calculated emission cross-section, and gain cross-section values support that TZNEr1Ce1 glass is a potential material for developing broad-band and high-gain erbium-doped fiber amplifiers applied for 1.53 µm.     

Avidin conjugation to up-conversion phosphor NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ by the oxidation of the oligosaccharide chains

NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a polyol process using diethyleneglycol (DEG) as solvent. After being functionalized with SiO₂–NH₂ layer, these NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles can conjugate with activated avidin molecules (activated by the oxidation of the oligosaccharide chain). The as-formed NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles, NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles functionalized with amino groups, avidin conjugated amino-functionalized NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV/Vis absorption spectra, and up-conversion luminescence spectra, respectively. The biofunctionalization of the NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles has less effect on their luminescence properties, i.e., they still show the up-conversion emission (from Er³⁺, with ⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_15/2 at ~540 nm and ⁴F_9/2 → ⁴I_15/2 at ~653 nm), indicative of the great potential for these NaYF₄:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanoparticles to be used as fluorescence probes for biological system.
