| Abstract: | The upconversion luminescence of Er3+/Yb3+ ions is researched in a novel transparent oxyfluoride borosil icate glass and glass ceramics under 980-nm excitation.Fluoride nanocrystals Ba2 YF7 are successfully precipitated in glass matrix,which is affirmed by the X-ray diffraction results.Compared with the parent glasses.significant enhancement of upconversion luminescence is observed in the Er3+/Yb3+ codoped transparent glass-ceramics.which may be due to the variation of coordination environment around Er3+ and Yb3+ ions after crvstallization.The possible upconversion mechanism is also discussed. |
