Green Er(3+):YLiF(4) upconversion laser at 551nm with Yb(3+) codoping: a novel pumping scheme

We report room-temperature continuous-wave upconversion laser emission on the green transition (4)S(3/2)?(4)I(15/2) in Er(1%), Yb(3%):YLiF(4) at 551nm. Green laser operation was obtained for titanium-sapphire pump wavelengths continuously tunable between 955 and 974.5nm. Codoping with Yb(3+) resulted in a more efficient excitation of the upper laser level by upconversion processes. The maximum green laser output power was 37mW at an incident titanium-sapphire pump power level of 1580mW at 966nm.     

Highly efficient infrared-to-visible energy upconversion in Er(3+):Y(2)O(3)

Very intense green and red emission was observed at room temperature from the (4)S(3/2) and (4)F(9/2) levels of Er(3+):Y(2)O(3). A cw diode laser at 975 nm was used as a pump for resonant sequential excitation of the (4)I(11/2) and (4)F(7/2) levels. The fluorescence was easily visible to the naked eye, even with 27 mW of excitation power. It was found that at 850 mW of cw excitation power the total luminance was 39,000 cd/m(2). This corresponds to ~100 muW of green emission and 270 muW of red emission.

Dy3+单掺和Er3+,Yb3+共掺氧氟微晶玻璃的发光性能

采用高温熔融法和热处理工艺制作了含有GdF3纳米晶的氧氟微晶玻璃。在386 nm激发下,Dy3+掺杂氧氟微晶玻璃的发光强度明显增强,且蓝光对黄光的发光强度比逐渐增大,表明Dy3+已进入到GdF3纳米晶中。在980 nm激光器泵浦下,Er3+,Yb3+共掺氧氟微晶玻璃的上转换发光随着热处理温度的升高明显增强,Er3+的上转换发光出现明显的Stark分裂现象,这亦说明Er3+已进入到GdF3纳米晶相中。通过研究上转换发光强度与泵浦功率的关系,确定绿光上转换发光为双光子过程。

Improved emission of Tm(3+)-doped glass for a 1.4-mum amplifier by radiative energy transfer between Tm(3+) and Nd(3+)

We prepared a Tm-doped glass composite with a Nd-doped layer as a model 1.4-mum thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA) to investigate the effect of energy transfer on the emission spectra of the composite. The competitive 0.8-mu;m emission from the Tm:(3)H(4) level, which had a branching ratio ten times larger than that of the 1.4-mum emission, was reduced to 1/6 of its previous value by radiative transfer to the Nd layer. Also, the 1.06-mum emission from the excited Nd(3+) was found to contribute to the upconversion pumping scheme for population inversion between the (3)i(4) and (3)F(4) levels of Tm(3+) . The Nd-doped glass phase can be used as a cladding material for an efficient TDFA.     

Light-into-heat conversion in La2O3:Er(3+)-Yb3+ phosphor: an incandescent emission

Low-power-threshold cw laser-induced incandescence (CWLII) has been observed in La(2)O(3):Er(3+)-Yb(3+) phosphor on excitation by a 976 nm IR laser. It is suggested that incandescence originates from the extensive heating induced by the nonradiative processes taking place following the laser excitation. Other mechanisms for similar observations have also been suggested in the literature and have been discussed with the present observations. The estimated temperature for the CWLII approaches around 2650 K, and this seems to provide an effective way to rapidly attain high temperature in nano/microvolumes of phosphor. The phosphor exhibited efficient upconversion, and the ratio of the (2)H(11/2)→(4)I(15/2) and (4)S(3/2)→(4)I(15/2) band intensities of Er(3+) permits measurement of the temperature rise, from a distance.     

Uniform upconversion in high-concentration Er(3+)-doped soda lime silicate and aluminosilicate glasses

Uniform upconversion in erbium-doped silicate glasses is investigated as a function of glass composition, concentration, and fabrication method. Comparisons of upconversion coefficients are made among soda lime silicate and aluminosilicate bulk glasses and soda lime silicate waveguides. Comparisons are also made with studies performed by other researchers. The results indicate that both the composition and the preparation method of the glass affect the value of the upconversion coefficient, with as much as a factor-of-4 variation observed at fixed Er(3+) concentration. Values of the upconversion coefficient are found to be consistent with the F?rster-Dexter microscopic model.
