Green and red up-conversion emissions of Er–Yb Co-doped TiO2 nanocrystals prepared by sol–gel method

In this paper, green and red up-conversion emissions of Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ co-doped TiO₂ nanocrystals were reported. The phase structure, particle size and optical properties of Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ co-doped TiO₂ nanocrystals samples were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–vis–NIR absorption spectra and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Green and red up-conversion emissions in the range of 520–570 nm (²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2) and 640–690 nm (⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2) were observed for the Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ co-doped TiO₂ nanocrystals. The visible up-conversion mechanism and temperature dependence of up-conversion emission for Er³⁺ in TiO₂ nanocrystals were discussed in detail.

Investigation of 1.3 μm emission in Nd-doped bismuth-based oxide glasses

Nd₂O₃-doped 43Bi₂O₃–xB₂O₃–(57−x)SiO₂–1.0Nd₂O₃ (x=57, 47, 39, 28.5, 19.5, 10, 0 mol%) bismuth glasses were prepared by the conventional melt-quenching method, and the Nd³⁺: ⁴F_3/2→⁴I_13/2 fluorescence properties had been studied in an oxide system Bi₂O₃–B₂O₃–SiO₂. The Judd–Ofelt analysis for Nd³⁺ ions in bismuth boron silicate glasses was also performed on the basis of absorption spectrum, and the transition probabilities, excited-state lifetimes, the fluorescence branching ratios, quantum efficiency and the stimulated emission cross-sections of ⁴F_3/2→⁴I_13/2 transition were calculated and discussed. The stimulated emission cross-sections of 1.3 μm were quite large due to a large refractive index of the host. Although the effective bandwidths decreased with increasing SiO₂ content, quantum efficiencies and stimulated emission cross-sections enhanced largely with increasing SiO₂ content.     

掺Er3+钆硼硅酸盐玻璃及玻璃陶瓷的红外发光特性和热稳定性

Radiative and non radiative spectroscopic properties of Er ion in tellurite glass

We have investigated in detail the mechanism of infrared emission and upconversion emission of Er³⁺ in tellurite glass as a function of the dopant concentration. Both the infrared and upconversion emissions are competing processes and the efficiency of infrared emission at 1534 nm is 100% at the lowest Er content (0.5 mol%) and reduces to 50% at higher dopant concentration (>2 mol%). The green upconversion emission at 548 nm is mainly due to the excited state absorption (ESA) from ⁴I_11/2, which populate the ⁴F_7/2 level. In addition to this, the possible energy transfer (ET) through Er³⁺(⁴I_11/2) + Er³⁺(⁴I_11/2) → Er³⁺(⁴F_7/2) + Er³⁺(⁴I_15/2) can also results in the green emission as is noticed from the concentration dependent efficiency change of the green emission. The fluorescence quenching of green emission with Er concentration may be related with the cross relaxation (CR) process ²H_11/2 + ⁴I_15/2 → ⁴I_9/2 + ⁴I_13/2. The red emission is due to the combined effect of the ESA from level ⁴I_13/2 to ⁴F_9/2, the energy transfer process described by Er³⁺(⁴I_13/2) + Er³⁺(⁴I_11/2) → Er³⁺(⁴F_9/2) + Er³⁺(⁴I_15/2) and the cross relaxation process.

Visible quantum cutting via downconversion in LiGdF4 : Er, Tb upon Er 4f→4f5d excitation

Visible quantum cutting (the emission of two photons of visible light per absorbed photon) is reported for LiGdF₄ codoped with Er³⁺ and Tb³⁺. In this compound visible quantum cutting is achieved through downconversion, i.e., by making use of energy transfer between different lanthanide ions. Upon VUV excitation in the 4f¹⁰5d levels of Er³⁺, part of the excitation energy can be transferred to Gd³⁺ by cross-relaxation, yielding both Er³⁺ and Gd³⁺ in an excited state. This is followed by the emission of two visible photons: one from Er³⁺ due to the ⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2 transition, and, after energy transfer from Gd³⁺ to Tb³⁺, one from Tb³⁺ due to the ⁵D_J→⁷F_J transition. It is shown that this process occurs, next to other energy transfer processes from the Er³⁺ 4f¹⁰5d states to Gd³⁺ yielding only one visible photon.     

Er3+掺杂的Bi2O3-B2O3-SiO2玻璃的光谱性质

测试了Bi₂O₃-B₂O₃-SiO₂玻璃中的Er³⁺离子的吸收光谱、发射光谱、⁴I_13/2的荧光寿命、拉曼光谱,及OH^-的傅里叶红外吸收光谱。应用Judd-Ofelt理论计算了该玻璃中的Er³⁺离子的J-O参数、振子强度、⁴I_13/2能级的寿命,从而利用测得的⁴I_13/2的荧光寿命得出了⁴I_13/2能级的量子效率(15%)。由于较低量子效率可能与OH^-有关,所以计算了玻璃中的OH^-浓度,发现其浓度较高(1.66×10¹⁹cm^-1,相当于Er³⁺浓度的3倍)。应用McCumber理论和四能级模型计算了Er³⁺离子的受激发射截面和荧光发射光谱的半峰全宽,结果与通过吸收光谱计算所得基本吻合。根据透射率和折射率的关系计算了折射率,发现和测量值相差很大,说明有较大的散射,通过拉曼光谱和显微镜测试,认为是玻璃中的微小气泡造成的。

利用高温固相法成功制备了Er~(3+)单掺、Er~(3+)/Yb~(3+)共掺杂Ca_(12)Al_(14)O_(32)F_2上转换发光样品。在980 nm激光激发下,Er~(3+)单掺和Er~(3+)/Yb~(3+)共掺杂样品均呈现出较强的绿光(528,549 nm)和较弱的红光(655 nm)发射,分别归因于Er~(3+)离子的~2H_(11/2),~4S_(3/2)→~4I_(15/2)和~4F_(9/2)→~4I_(15/2)能级跃迁。随着Er离子浓度的增加,单掺杂样品上转换发光强度先增大后减小,最佳掺杂浓度为0.8%。共掺杂Yb~(3+)后,Er~(3+)的发光强度明显增大。还原气氛下合成的样品上转换发光强度增大约两倍,可能和笼中阴离子基团变化有关。发光强度和激发光功率的关系表明所得上转换发射为双光子吸收过程,借助Er~(3+)-Yb~(3+)体系能级结构详细讨论了上转换发射的跃迁机制。

Er3+在KPb2Br5晶体中的选择替位对上转换发光光谱的影响

通过高温固相法制备了不同Er³⁺掺杂浓度的KPb₂Br₅多晶粉末样品. 由980 nm半导体激光器激发下得到的上转换发射光谱显示, 当掺杂浓度为2.5 mol%时, 样品主要表现为530 nm 和550 nm上转换发射, 分别对应激发态²H_11/2和⁴S_3/2向基态⁴I_15/2的跃迁; 掺杂浓度增加到5 mol%时样品以490 nm上转换发射为主, 对应由激发态⁴F_7/2向⁴I_15/2的跃迁; 当掺杂浓度达到7.5 mol%时, 样品的上转换发射强度相比低浓度时大幅度下降, 主要以激发态⁴F_9/2 向基态⁴I_15/2跃迁的690 nm处发光为主. 利用第一性原理结合Judd-Ofelt理论讨论认为, Er³⁺ 离子优先替代Pb (1) 的位置, 随着浓度的提高, 部分Er³⁺ 离子会替代Pb (2) 格位上的离子, 不同晶格位置的Er³⁺ 离子所处的晶体场的对称性有所不同, 从而影响了发光中心不同能级的跃迁概率, 体现在上转换发光光谱的差异上. 蓝、绿区域的上转换发光在高浓度掺杂下显示了明显的浓度猝灭, 此时样品以红色上转换发光为主. 关键词： 2Br₅：Er³⁺')" href="#">KPb₂Br₅：Er³⁺ Judd-Ofelt理论 第一性原理 上转换发射

Intensities and spectral features of the ~4I_(13/2)-~4I_(15/2) potential laser transition of Er~(3+) centers in CaF_2-CeF_3 disordered crystal

A CaF_2-CeF_3 disordered crystal containing 1.06% of Er~(3+) ions was grown by the temperature gradient technique.Optical absorption and emission spectra recorded at room temperature and at 10 K, luminescence decay curve recorded at room temperature, and extended x-ray-absorption fine structure spectra were analyzed with an intention to assess the laser potential related to the ~4I_(13/2)→~4I_(15/2) transition of Er~(3+). In addition, the thermal diffusivity of the crystal was measured at room temperature. The analysis of room-temperature spectra revealed that the ~4I_(13/2) emission is long-lived with a radiative lifetime value of 5.5 ms, peak emission cross section of 0.73 × 10~(-20) cm~2, and large spectral width pointing at the tunability of the emission wavelength in the region stretching from approximately 1480 nm to 1630 nm. The energies of the crystal field components for the ground and excited multiplets determined from low-temperature absorption and emission spectra made it possible to predict successfully the spectral position and shape of the room-temperature ~4I_(13/2)→~4I_(15/2) emission band. Based on the correlation of the optical spectra and dynamics of the luminescence decay, it was concluded that in contrast to Yb~(3+) ions in heavily doped CaF_2 erbium ions in the CaF_2-CeF_3 crystal reside in numerous sites with dissimilar relaxation rates.
