Properties of erbium luminescence in bulk crystals of silicon carbide

The infrared luminescence of Er³⁺ ions has been studied in bulk crystals of silicon carbide 6H-SiC doped with erbium in the process of their growth. The erbium centers of different symmetry in the crystals are revealed by the EPR technique. A number of intense luminescence bands of erbium ions are observed at a wavelength of about 1.54 μm. The luminescence can be excited by the light with quantum energies above and below the band gap of SiC. It is found that the luminescence exhibits unusual temperature behavior: as the temperature increases, the luminescence intensity abruptly rises starting with 77 K, passes through a maximum at ∼240 K, and, in the vicinity of ∼400 K, decreases down to the values observed at 77 K. The activation energies for the flare-up and quenching of the Er³⁺ luminescence are estimated at E _A ≈130 and ≈350 meV, respectively. The mechanisms of the flare-up and quenching of the Er³⁺ luminescence in SiC are discussed. __________ Translated from Fizika Tverdogo Tela, Vol. 42, No. 5, 2000, pp. 809–815.

Photoluminescence of Er<Superscript>3+</Superscript> ions in layers of quasi-ordered silicon nanocrystals in a silicon dioxide matrix

The spectra and kinetics of photoluminescence from multilayered structures of quasi-ordered silicon nanocrystals in a silica matrix were studied for undoped samples and samples doped with erbium. It was shown that the optical excitation energy of silicon nanocrystals could be effectively transferred to Er³⁺ ions, which was followed by luminescence at a wavelength of 1.5 µm. The effectiveness of energy transfer increased as the size of silicon nanocrystals decreased and the energy of exciting light quanta increased. The excitation of erbium luminescence in the structures was explained based on dipole-dipole interaction (the Förster mechanism) between excitons in silicon nanocrystals and Er³⁺ ions in silica surrounding them.     

Upconversion properties of Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ co-doped TeO2-Nb2O5-Li2O glasses

The Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ co-doped TeO2-Nb2O5-Li2O glass is prepared by conventional melting method, and its upconversion spectra are measured. The intense green upconversion luminescence upon excitation with a 976 nm laser diode is observed with the naked eyes. The dependence of luminescence intensity on the ratio of Yb^3＋/Er^3＋ is discussed in detail, and the relationship between the ratio of green luminescence intensity to red luminescence intensity and the ratio of Yb^3＋/Er^3＋ is also studied, The luminescence intensity increases with the ratio of Yb^3＋/Er^3＋ increasing. The ratio of Yb^3＋/Er^3＋ plays a more important role than the concentration of Er^3＋ in determining the upconversion luminescence intensity. The ratio of green luminescence intensity to red luminescence intensity reaches a maximum when ratio of Yb^3＋/Er^3＋ is 3. Thus the glass could be one of the potential candidates for LD pumping solid-state lasers.     

Enhanced Green Emission from Er<Subscript>2</Subscript>WO<Subscript>6</Subscript> Nanocrystals Embedded Composite Tellurite Glasses

A series of tungsten-tellurite glasses activated with different concentrations (0–1.5 mol %) of Er³⁺ has been synthesized. The structural properties of the best luminescent sample and the optical properties of its Er³⁺ ions, are studied both immediate after its preparation as well as after its ageing. On ageing the glass suffers structural reorganization and generates Er₂WO₆—nanocrystals in the matrix, which greatly enhances the normal and upconversion green luminescence efficiency of Er³⁺. The nanocrystal aided enhancement of normal and upconversion luminescence of Er³⁺ of the glass has been attributed to the crystal field effects of the new environment of Er³⁺ in the nanocrystals. A phenomenon of preferential enhancement of red upconversion luminescence at the cost of green upconversion luminescence of Er³⁺ at its higher concentrations in the glass has been observed and the related photo-physics is proposed. The material shows the prospect of being used as NIR solar concentrator.     

Focusing surface plasmons on Er3+ ions through gold planar plasmonic lenses

Gold plasmonic lenses consisting of a planar concentric rings-groove with different periods were milled with a focused gallium ion beam on a gold thin film deposited onto an Er³⁺-doped tellurite glass. The plasmonic lenses were vertically illuminated with an argon ion laser highly focused by means of a 50× objective lens. The focusing mechanism of the plasmonic lenses is explained using a coherent interference model of surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) generation on the circular grating due to the incident field. As a result, phase modulation can be accomplished by the groove gap, similar to a nanoslit array with different widths. This focusing allows a high confinement of SPPs that can excite the Er³⁺ ions of the glass. The Er³⁺ luminescence spectra were measured in the far-field (500?C750?nm wavelength range), where we could verify the excitation yield via the plasmonic lens on the Er³⁺ ions. We analyze the influence of the geometrical parameters on the luminescence spectra. The variation of these parameters results in considerable changes of the luminescence spectra.

Characterization of Er-doped fluoride glass ceramics waveguides containing LaF3 nanocrystals

Highly Er³⁺-doped fluoride glass ceramics planar waveguides containing LaF₃ nanocrystals have been fabricated by physical vapor deposition (PVD). The solubility of Er³⁺ in the segregated nanocrystals can reach 30 mol% which is much larger than the value found in LaF₃-oxide glass ceramics. A quantitative analysis of the photoluminescence of the 1.54 μm emission band of Er³⁺ ions has demonstrated that erbium ions are partitioned in both crystals and vitreous phase. The short lifetime (2.2 ms) measured for erbium incorporated in LaF₃ crystal lattice is a consequence of concentration quenching while the lifetime is close to 10 ms in the glassy phase. The emission bandwidth has been found to be greater than that of the precursor glass (71 nm at the half-height width). The high Er³⁺ concentration and spectral width could make this nanostructured fluoride material suitable for planar amplifier in the C telecommunication band.
