Optimal spectral phase control of femtosecond laser-induced up-conversion luminescence in Sm^3+:NaYF4 glass

The spectral phase of the femtosecond laser field is an important parameter that affects the up-conversion(UC)luminescence efficiency of dopant lanthanide ions.In this work,we report an experi-mental study on controlling the UC lmiiinescence efficiency in Sm^3+:NaYF4 glass by 800-nm femtosec-ond laser pulse shaping using spectral phase modulation.The optimal phase control strategy efficiently enhances or suppresses the UC luminescence intensity.Based on the laser-power dependence of the UC luminescence intensity and its comparison with the luminescence spectrum under direct 266-nm fem-tosecond lciser irradiation,we propose herein an excitation model combining non-resonant two-photon absorption with resonance-media ted three-photon absorption to explain the experimental observations.

Color tuning of up-conversion emission in ytterbium,erbium, aluminum tri-doped zinc oxide crystal by adjusting aluminum concentration

Ytterbium, erbium, aluminum tri-doped zinc oxide crystal was synthesized, which can turn color from red to green up-conversion luminescence through adjusting aluminum content. When the aluminum concentration reached 4?mol%, the color of up-conversion emission first turn from red to green. Meanwhile, the ratio of red to green emission reduced from 25.32 to 0.26, and the coordinates of chromaticity coordinate calculation changes from (0.5749, 0.3378) to (0.2190, 0.7169) with aluminum concentration range from 0 to 4?mol%. The up-conversion emission peaks at 521, 542, and 660?nm of sample originate from the transitions of ²H_11/2 → ⁴I_15/2, ⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_15/2, and ⁴F_9/2 → ⁴I_15/2 of erbium ions, respectively. X-ray diffraction patterns perform the better crystallization degree with increasing aluminum concentration. The scanning electron microscopy images show the porous and lamellar structures with different aluminum concentrations. A convenient but effective design to obtain ytterbium, erbium, aluminum tri-doped zinc oxide up-conversion luminescence is reported, which can turn color from red to green.

综合ZnO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂系和锗酸盐玻璃陶瓷的优点,采用熔融-晶化法首次制备了Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺共掺以ZnAl₂O₄为主晶相的ZnO-Al₂O₃-GeO₂-SiO₂系玻璃陶瓷。因[GeO₄]四面体和[SiO₄]四面体都是玻璃网络形成体,讨论了GeO₂取代SiO₂对玻璃陶瓷样品硬度及发光性能的影响,最终确定GeO₂的取代量为10.55%（w/w）时,玻璃陶瓷综合性能最佳。在980 nm泵浦光的激发下,发现强的绿色（546 nm）和弱的红色（650 nm）上转换发光,并研究了不同Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺掺杂比对样品上转换发光的影响,最终结果表明当Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺掺杂比为1：11（n/n）时样品荧光强度最强,在绿色上转换发光材料方面具有潜在的应用。     

共沉淀法制备Y2SiO5∶Er3+ ,Yb3+ ,Tm3+及其上转换发光性能研究

采用化学共沉淀法制备了系列Y_1.98-2xYb_2x Er_0.02SiO₅(0.00≤x≤0.15)以及Y_1.736Yb_0.24Er_0.02Tm_0.004SiO₅上转换发光材料,比较了室温下Y_1.98-2xYb_2x Er_0.02 SiO₅ (x=0.00,0.08)样品在400—1600 nm范围内的吸收光谱,测量了所有样品在976 nm OPO激光器激发下的上转换发射光谱,以及Er³⁺离子⁴S_3/2(⁴F_9/2)→⁴I_15/2,Tm³⁺离子¹G₄→³H₆荧光衰减曲线和不同激发功率下的上转换蓝光发射强度,从而分析讨论了Er³⁺,Tm³⁺在Y₂SiO₅中的上转换发光机理.研究结果表明:在1250 ℃相对较低的温度下合成了X2型单斜晶系Y₂SiO₅ ∶Ln³⁺(Ln³⁺=Er³⁺,Yb³⁺,Tm³⁺),Yb³⁺的敏化显著增强了样品在976 nm附近的吸收能力,并大幅度加宽了该处的吸收带.分析上转换发射光谱发现:上转换绿光和红光强度都随着Yb³⁺浓度的增加先增强后减弱,但红光的猝灭浓度较高,归因于Er³⁺→Yb³⁺反向能量传递ETU4和Yb³⁺→Er³⁺正向能量传递ETU3过程的发生;上转换蓝光发射是三光子吸收过程,是通过Yb³⁺,Tm³⁺之间三次声子辅助的能量转移方式实现的. 关键词： 上转换 共沉淀 2SiO₅∶Er³⁺')" href="#">Y₂SiO₅∶Er³⁺ 3+')" href="#">Yb³⁺ 3+')" href="#">Tm³⁺     

点阵式上转换板在激光光斑采集中的应用研究

 通过在镜头前加装上转换板,利用其快速的红外上转换功能可以提高CCD对于低频窄脉冲光斑的采集效率。然而在利用传统面阵式工艺制成的上转换板采集光斑的过程中,普遍存在因上转换材料内部漫反射及局部饱和效应造成的光斑形状和光强分布的失真。针对上述问题,提出了一种新的点阵式上转换板制作工艺,并设计了点阵式上转换板光斑采集成像质量对比实验。实验结果表明,点阵式上转换板对低频窄脉冲光斑有更好的采集效果。为评价点阵式上转换板所采集光斑的成像质量,建立了相应的评价模型。

Nanostructured transparent glass-ceramics with composition of 95SiO₂–5LaF₃ co-doped with 0.3Yb³⁺, 0.1Ho³⁺ and 0.1Tm³⁺ (mol%) were synthesized by thermal treatment of precursor sol–gel derived glasses. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analysis point out the precipitation of hexagonal LaF₃ nanocrystals with diameter ranging from 11 to 20 nm in these nano-glass-ceramics. White light generation by means of efficient blue, green and red up-conversion luminescence under infrared excitation at 980 nm was observed and involved mechanisms were analyzed. Colour tuneability is achieved by varying the up-conversion emission ratios as a function of pump power.
