Up-conversion photoluminescence characteristics of Yb3+:Er3+:Tm3+ co-doped borosilicate glasses

Yb3+:Er3+:Tm3+ co-doped borosilicate glasses are prepared.Their strong up-conversion photoluminescence spectra in a range from ultra-violet to near-infrared,which are excited by a 978-nm laser diode,are measured,and the mechanisms of energy transfer among Yb3+,Er3+ and Tm3+ ions are discussed.The results show that there is an unexpected wavelength at 900-nm emission from Yb3+ Stark splitting levels to pump Tm3+ ions and there exists an optimum pump power.The concentration of the Tm3+ dopant gives rise to a prominent effect on the intensity of visible and near-infrared emissions for the Yb3+:Er3+:Tm3+ co-doped borosilicate glasses.     

Er~(3+)/Eu~(3+)及Yb~(3+)/Er~(3+)/Eu~(3+)共掺杂硼硅酸盐玻璃的上转换发光分析

采用高温固相烧结法制备了Er3+/Eu3+共掺杂和Yb3+/Er3+/Eu3+共掺杂系列硼硅酸盐玻璃样品。在978 nm半导体激光器抽运下,测量了样品的光致发光谱,分析了上转换机制。结果表明:随着Er3+浓度的增加,Eu3+的595 nm光谱强度增强;Eu3+的692 nm光谱强度随Yb3+浓度增加而增强,并明显强于595 nm光谱。Er3+/Eu3+、Yb3+/Eu3+之间的能量传递和合作上转换等机制导致Eu3+离子上转换发射。     

Optical parameters of Nd3＋：Er3＋：yb3＋ co-doped borosilicate glasses and their energy transfers at high temperature

This paper reports that a series of Nd³⁺:Er³⁺:Yb³⁺ co-doped borosilicate glasses have been prepared and their absorption spectra measured. The J--O intensity parameters Ω_k (k=2, 4, 6), spontaneous radiative lifetime τ_rad, spontaneous transition probability A, fluorescence branching ratio β and oscillator strength f_ed of the Nd³⁺ ions at room temperature are calculated based on Judd--Ofelt (J--O) theory. The temperature dependence of the up-conversion photoluminescence characteristics in a Nd³⁺:Er³⁺:Yb³⁺ co-doped sample is studied under a 978 nm semiconductor laser excitation, and the energy transfer mechanisms among Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ and Nd³⁺ ions are analysed. The results show that the J--O intensity parameters Ω₂ increase when the Nd³⁺ concentration of the Nd³⁺:Er³⁺:Yb³⁺ co-doped borosilicate glasses increases. The possibility of spontaneous transition is small and lifetimes are long at levels of ⁴F_5/2 and ⁴F_3/2. The intensity of Nd³⁺ emissions at 595, 691, 753, 813 and 887 nm are markedly enhanced when the sample temperature exceeds 400 K. The reasons being the cooperation of the secondary sensitization from Er³⁺ to Nd³⁺ and the contribution of a multi-phonon.     

HO3+单掺杂及其与Yb3+、Er3+共掺杂硼硅酸盐玻璃上转换发光的光谱分析

采用高温固相烧结法制备了HO3+单掺杂、HO3+/Yb3+共掺杂、HO3+/Er3+共掺杂和Ho3+/Yb3+/Er3+共掺杂等系列硼硅酸盐玻璃,测量了样品的激发光谱和发射光谱.结果表明:Ho3+单掺杂样品的激发光谱与发射光谱的强度随其浓度增加而逐渐减弱,原因是高浓度掺杂导致Ho3+离子产生猝灭效应;Ho3+/Yb3+...
