Multicolor upconversion emission from Tm3++Ho3++Yb3+ codoped tellurite glass on NIR excitations

Multicolor emission has been produced using 798 nm and 980  nm laser excitation in a Tm³⁺+Ho³⁺+Yb³⁺ codoped tellurite based glass. This glass generates simultaneously red, green and blue (RGB) emission on 798 nm excitation. Multicolor emission thus obtained was tuned to white luminescence by adjusting the Ho³⁺ ion concentration. There is a close match between the calculated color coordinate for the white luminescence obtained here and the point of equal energy which represents white in the 1931 CIE chromaticity diagram. The 980 nm excitation of the same sample on the other hand gives intense green and red emission and the glass appears greenish.     

Upconversion luminescence of Tm/Yb-codoped oxyhalide tellurite glasses

Thermal stability, Raman spectra and blue upconversion luminescence properties of Tm³⁺/Yb³⁺-codoped halide modified tellurite glasses have been studied. The results showed that the mixed halide modified tellurite glass (TFCB) has the best thermal stability, the lowest phonon energies and the strongest upconversion emissions. The effect of halide on upconversion intensity is observed and discussed and possible upconversion mechanisms are evaluated. The intense blue upconversion luminescence of Tm³⁺ in TFCB glass may be a potentially useful material for developing upconversion optical devices.     

Upconversion white-light emission in Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺ tridoped LiNbO₃ single crystal

Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺ tridoped LiNbO₃ single crystal exhibiting intense upconversion white light under 980?nm excitation has been successfully fabricated by the Czochralski method.

Efficient three-photon blue upconversion emission and two-photon green and red upconversion emissions have been observed. In addition, the red emission of Ho³⁺ originates dominantly from the nonradiative decay of green emission. The LiNbO₃ with upconversion white light will be a potential laser candidate material.

Upconversion white-light emission in Ho3+/Yb3+/Tm3+ codoped LiNbO3 polycrystals

Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺ codoped LiNbO₃ polycrystals exhibiting upconversion white-light under 980 nm excitation have been successfully fabricated by the high temperature solid-state reaction method. CIE coordinate of the Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺/LiNbO₃ polycrystal is (0.34, 0.35), which is very close to the standard equal energy white-light illuminate (0.33, 0.33). Efficient green, red, and blue upconversion emissions have been observed. The luminescent decay dynamics are studied, and rate equations for the blue, green, and red emissions are set up to analyze the upconversion luminescence mechanism. The present results demonstrate that the competition between the linear decay and the upconversion process for the depletion of the intermediate excited states plays an important role in upconversion mechanism. The LiNbO₃ with upconversion white-light will be a promising luminous material.

Intense red upconversion luminescence from Tm³⁺/Yb³⁺ codoped transparent glass ceramic

Tm³⁺/Yb³⁺ codoped transparent glass ceramic containing β-PbF₂ nanocrystals was successfully prepared. After thermal treatment, emissions from the ¹G₄ state of Tm³⁺ excited by 980 nm laser were greatly quenched by cross relaxation and the 700 nm luminescence from Tm³⁺:³F_2,3→³H₆ transition was strongly enhanced. A nearly monochromatic red luminescence band was observed. Based on the luminescence decay curves and Judd-Ofelt analysis, the strengthened cross relaxation played an important role in such phenomenon.     

Energy transfer and infrared-to-visible upconversion luminescence of Er/Yb-codoped halide modified tellurite glasses

We report on the energy transfer and frequency upconversion spectroscopic properties of Er³⁺-doped and Er³⁺/Yb³⁺-codoped TeO₂-ZnO-Na₂O-PbCl₂ halide modified tellurite glasses upon excitation with 808 and 978 nm laser diode. Three intense emissions centered at around 529, 546 and 657 nm, alongwith a very weak blue emission at 410 nm have clearly been observed for the Er³⁺/Yb³⁺-codoped halide modified tellurite glasses upon excitation at 978 nm and the involved mechanisms are explained. The quadratic dependence of fluorescence on excitation laser power confirms the fact that the two-photon contribute to the infrared to green-red upconversion emissions. And the blue upconversion at 410 nm involved a sequential three-photon absorption process.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and the enhanced blue upconversion luminescence of NaYF4:Nd3+,Tm3+,Yb3+

Nd³⁺, Tm³⁺ and Yb³⁺ co-doped NaYF₄ upconversion (UC) material was synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The structure of the sample was characterized by the X-ray diffraction, and its UC luminescence properties were investigated in detail. Under the 980 nm semiconductor laser excitation, its UC spectra exhibited distinct emission peaks at 451 nm, 475 nm and 646 nm respectively. On the basis of the comparison of UC spectra between NaYF₄:Nd³⁺,Tm³⁺,Yb³⁺ and NaYF₄:Tm³⁺,Yb³⁺, it was indicated that the existence of Nd³⁺ ion enhanced the blue emission intensity. The law of luminescence intensity versus pump power proved that the blue emission at 475 nm, and the red emission at 646 nm were the two-photon processes, while the blue emission at 451 nm was a three-photon process.

Increase of the blue upconversion emission in YAG:Tm3+ nanopowders by codoping with Yb3+ ions

The YAG nanopowders were prepared by a co-precipitation method using nitrate and ammonium hydrogen carbonate as raw materials. To obtain homogenous precipitate, reverse-strike (adding salt solutions to the precipitant solution) technique was adopted. Therefore, single (Tm³⁺) and codoped (Tm³⁺–Yb³⁺) YAG nanopowders with a size between 40–90 nm have been obtained.Blue upconversion emission at around 480 nm has been found in YAG: Tm³⁺ nanopowders under excitation to the ³H₄ level of Tm³⁺ at around 800 nm. However, this upconversion emission in nanopowders codoped with Tm³⁺–Yb³⁺ ions is increased by a factor of about 10. The analysis of the temporal evolution of the involved levels and the dependence of the upconversion intensity on the pump power at 800 nm allowed to distinguish the upconversion mechanism. In YAG: Tm³⁺ nanopowders the upconversion mechanism is due to excited state absorption processes. However, in the codoped samples, Yb³⁺ ions acts as the sensitizers; in consequence, the blue upconversion is strongly increased.     

Optical properties of Ho-doped novel oxyfluoride glasses

Novel oxyfluoride glasses SiO₂-Al₂O₃-Na₂O-ZnF₂ doped with Ho³⁺ and Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺ were fabricated. The optical properties of the synthesized glasses were experimentally and theoretically investigated in detail. The experimental and calculated oscillator strengths of Ho³⁺ were determined by measurement of absorption spectrum of Ho³⁺-singly doped glass. According to the Judd-Ofelt theory, the Judd-Ofelt parameters were calculated, by which the radiative transition probabilities, fluorescence branching ratios and radiative lifetimes were obtained. Visible upconversion luminescence was observed under 980 nm diode laser excitation and the influence of Yb³⁺ concentration on the emission bands were also investigated. The dependence of the upconversion emission intensity upon the excitation power was examined, and the upconversion mechanisms were discussed.

Upconversion luminescence and mechanisms in Yb-sensitized Tm-doped oxyhalide tellurite glasses

Effect of Yb₂O₃ content on upconversion luminescence and mechanisms in Yb³⁺-sensitized Tm³⁺-doped oxyhalide tellurite glasses were investigated under 980 nm excitation. Intense blue and relatively weak red upconversion emission centered at 476 and 649 nm corresponding to the transitions ¹G₄→³H₆ and ¹G₄→³H₄ of Tm³⁺, respectively, are simultaneously observed at room temperature. The results show that upconversion blue and red emission intensities of Tm³⁺ first increase, reach its maximum at Yb₂O₃%=3 mol%, and then decrease with increasing Yb₂O₃ content. The effect of Yb₂O₃ content on upconversion intensity is discussed, and possible effect mechanisms are evaluated. The investigated results were conducing to increase upconversion luminescence efficiency of Tm³⁺.     

Optical temperature sensor through infrared excited blue upconversion emission in Tm3 +/Yb3 + codoped Y2O3

An analysis of the intense blue upconversion emission at 476 and 488 nm in Tm^3 +/Yb^3 + codoped Y₂O₃ under excitation power density of 86.7 W/cm² available from a diode laser emitting at 976 nm, has been undertaken. Fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) variation of temperature-sensitive blue upconversion emission at 476 and 488 nm in this material was recorded in the temperature range from 303 to 753 K. The maximum sensitivity derived from the FIR technique of the blue upconversion emission is approximately 0.0035 K^? 1. The results imply that Tm^3 +/Yb^3 + codoped Y₂O₃ is a potential candidate for the optical temperature sensor.     

Infrared-to-Ultraviolet upconversion luminescence of La0.95Yb0.49Tm0.01F3 nanostructures

In this work, we used the hydrothermal method to synthesize Yb³⁺ and Tm³⁺ doped LaF₃ nanostructures, which is an ultraviolet upconversion luminescent material. Two distinct shapes such as nanosheets, nanoparticles and bulk samples formed in the products by adjusting the concentrations of the surfactant of the reaction solution. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the products were pure hexagonal phase, while electron microscopy measurements confirm the formation of different morphologies. These nanostructures exhibit strong ultraviolet upconversion luminescence under the excitation of a 978-nm diode laser. In Yb³⁺ and Tm³⁺ codoped LaF₃ materials, the relative intensity of ultraviolet and blue upconversion emissions became stronger as the size and morphology of sample changed from bulk to sheets.     

Infrared to visible upconversion fluorescence in Yb,Tm:YAG single crystal

Absorption spectrum from 400 to 2000 nm and upconversion fluorescence spectra under 940 nm pumping of YAG single crystal codoped with 5 at.% Yb³⁺ and 4 at.% Tm³⁺ were studied at room temperature. The blue upconversion emission centered at 483 nm corresponds to the transition ¹G₄ → ³H₆, the emission band around 646 nm corresponds to the transition ¹G₄ → ³F₄ of Tm³⁺. Energy transfer from Yb³⁺ to Tm³⁺ is mainly nonradiative and the transfer efficiency was experimentally assessed. The line strengths, transition probabilities and radiative lifetimes of ¹G₄ level were calculated by using Judd-Ofelt theory. Gain coefficient calculated from spectra shows that the upconversion corresponding with transitions ¹G₄ → ³H₆ in YAG doped with Yb³⁺ and Tm³⁺ is potentially useful for blue light output.     

Upconversion and color tunability in Tm/Ho/Yb doped low phonon energy bismuth tellurite glasses

Low phonon energy Tm³⁺/Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺ triply doped bismuth tellurite glasses exhibiting multicolor upconversion fluorescences have been fabricated and characterized. The multicolor fluorescence composed of three primary colors green, red and blue upconversion emissions from Ho³⁺ and Tm³⁺ has been investigated. By adjusting the excitation power, the fluorescence colors can be tuned from multicolor to white color, and the dependence of color tunability on pump power has been presented in the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram. With the increase in pumping power, the color coordinates move along the down-left direction and hit the equal energy point. The upconversion and color tunability via changing the pump power of infrared excitation in Tm³⁺/Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺ triply doped bismuth tellurite glasses will lead to new breakthrough in the field of three-dimensional solid-state displays and white-light emitting devices.
