Upconversion properties of Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ co-doped TeO2-Nb2O5-Li2O glasses

The Er^3＋/Yb^3＋ co-doped TeO2-Nb2O5-Li2O glass is prepared by conventional melting method, and its upconversion spectra are measured. The intense green upconversion luminescence upon excitation with a 976 nm laser diode is observed with the naked eyes. The dependence of luminescence intensity on the ratio of Yb^3＋/Er^3＋ is discussed in detail, and the relationship between the ratio of green luminescence intensity to red luminescence intensity and the ratio of Yb^3＋/Er^3＋ is also studied, The luminescence intensity increases with the ratio of Yb^3＋/Er^3＋ increasing. The ratio of Yb^3＋/Er^3＋ plays a more important role than the concentration of Er^3＋ in determining the upconversion luminescence intensity. The ratio of green luminescence intensity to red luminescence intensity reaches a maximum when ratio of Yb^3＋/Er^3＋ is 3. Thus the glass could be one of the potential candidates for LD pumping solid-state lasers.     

Luminescence of BaAl2O4:Mn,Ce phosphor

Powder samples of barium aluminate doped with Mn²⁺ and Ce³⁺ were prepared by solid-state reaction method and their photoluminescence and thermoluminescence properties were studied. Substitution of Ca/Sr in place of Ba resulted in enhanced emission from Ce³⁺ ions without changing the spectral profile. Cerium efficiently sensitized the manganese luminescence in barium aluminate. Photoluminescence and thermo luminescence observations have indicated the presence of V_k³⁺ defects in undoped barium aluminate. However, Barium aluminate (either undoped or doped with manganese) did not exhibit long afterglow.     

Stmmry talk on evaluation and theory

Abstract

Single crystal samples of Ce³⁺-doped fluorides CaNaYF₆ and BaMgF₄ have been grown in a reducing atmosphere, with the intent of studying the effects of symmetry and ligand coordination on the dopant energy levels. The optical absorption spectra of Ce³⁺ in these crystals consist, at most, of five overlapping bands. The luminescence is also a broad band due to strong electron—phonon interaction in the 5d excited state. The energies of the lowest absorption band and the luminescence band are shifted to low energy compared to those in LiCaAlF₆ and LiYF₄. This trend may be explained by lowering symmetry of the anion-coordinate polyhedra of Ce³⁺ in these crystals.     

Photoluminescence of an Yb3+/Al3+-codoped microstructured optical fibre

An Yb 3+ /Al 3+-codoped microstructured optical fibre is prepared based on photonic crystal fibre technology.The characteristic spectra of preforms and fibres are experimentally investigated.The results show that under a 971 nm excitation,besides the known infrared fluorescence luminescence around 1050 nm,a blue luminescence peak at 486 nm is obtained.Moreover,an unexpected emission peak at 730 nm is also observed.The photoluminescence mechanism of an Yb 3+ /Al 3+-codoped microstructured optical fibre is discussed.The emission peak at 486 nm is attributed to the cooperative upconversion resulting from pairs of Yb 3+ ions,and the emission peak around 730 nm is ascribed to the stimulated Raman scattering because of nonlinear effects of microstructured optical fibre.The Yb 3+ /Al 3+-codoped microstructured optical fibre is promising for varieties of applications from laser printing and optical recording to cancer treatments,such as photodynamic therapy.     

Blue luminescence from Ce-doped ZnO thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering

The photoluminescence properties of undoped and Ce-doped ZnO thin films that were prepared by DC magnetron sputtering were investigated. It was found that the incorporation of Ce could intensively affect the structural, optical, and photoluminescence properties of the ZnO thin films. The undoped ZnO thin films showed a sharp UV luminescence, whereas the Ce-doped ZnO thin films showed a broad blue luminescence. The effects of excitation wavelength and annealing atmosphere on the photoluminescence properties of Ce-doped ZnO thin films were also studied. After post-annealing in air and oxygen atmospheres, the blue emissions of the prepared films were drastically suppressed. Our results indicate that the blue emissions of Ce-doped ZnO thin films are related to zinc interstitials and the intrinsic transition of Ce³⁺ ions.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of nanocrystalline Gd2O3:Eu by combustion process

The nanocrystalline Gd₂O₃:Eu³⁺ powders with cubic phase were prepared by a combustion method in the presence of urea and glycol. The effects of the annealing temperature on the crystallization and luminescence properties were studied. The results of XRD show pure phase can be obtained, the average crystallite size could be calculated as 7, 8, 15, and 23 nm for the precursor and samples annealed at 600, 700 and 800 °C, respectively, which coincided with the results from TEM images. The emission intensity, host absorption and charge transfer band intensity increased with increasing the temperature. The slightly broad emission peak at 610 nm for smaller particles can be observed. The ratio of host absorption to O²⁻-Eu³⁺ charge transfer band of smaller nanoparticles is much stronger compared with that for larger nanoparticles, furthermore, the luminescence lifetimes of nanoparticles increased with increasing particles size. The effects of doping concentration of Eu³⁺ on luminescence lifetimes and intensities were also discussed. The samples exhibited a higher quenching concentration of Eu³⁺, and luminescence lifetimes of nanoparticles are related to annealing temperature of samples and the doping concentration of Eu³⁺ ions.     

Upconverted VUV luminescence of Nd and Er doped into LiYF4 crystals under XeF-laser excitation

The upconverted VUV (185 nm) and UV (230 and 260 nm) luminescence due to 5d-4f radiative transitions in Nd³⁺ ions doped into a LiYF₄ crystal has been obtained under excitation by 351/353 nm radiation from a XeF excimer laser. The maximum upconversion efficiency, defined as the ratio of intensity for 5d-4f luminescence to overall intensity for 5d-4f and 4f-4f luminescence from the ⁴D_3/2 Nd³⁺ level, has been estimated to be about 70% under optimal focusing conditions for XeF laser radiation. A redistribution of intensity between three main components of 5d-4f Nd³⁺ luminescence is observed under changing the excitation power density, which favors the most long-wavelength band (260 nm) at higher excitation density level. The effect is interpreted as being due to excited state absorption of radiation emitted. The upconverted VUV and UV luminescence from the high-lying ²F(2)_7/2 4f level of Er³⁺ doped into a LiYF₄ crystal has also been obtained under XeF-laser excitation the most intense line being at 280 nm from the spin-allowed transition to the ²H(2)_11/2 4f level of Er³⁺, but the efficiency of upconversion for Er³⁺ emission is low, less than 5%.     

Morphology-dependent upconversion luminescence of ZnO:Er nanocrystals

Morphology impact on the upconverted luminescence of ZnO:Er³⁺ nanocrystals was studied with controllable morphology of nanorod, prickly sphere-like, column-like, branch rod, prism-like, and grain-like, prepared via the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-assisted hydrothermal process. The upconversion emission of Er³⁺ with 980 nm excitation demonstrated morphology sensitivity which was related with the local environments of Er³⁺ ions in ZnO and doping efficiency. Under ultraviolet (UV) direct excitation, where exciton and defect emissions of ZnO appeared, morphology sensitivity was discussed in terms of surface-to-volume ratios.     

Photoluminescence investigations of Zn2SiO4 co-doped with Eu and Tb ions

Zinc silicate phosphors co-doped with Eu³⁺ ions and also with both Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions were prepared by high temperature solid state reaction in air or reducing atmosphere. The luminescence characteristics of the prepared phosphors were investigated. While in the samples prepared in air, Eu³⁺ emission was found to be dominant over Tb³⁺ emission, in the samples prepared in reducing atmosphere, intense Eu²⁺ emission at 448 nm was found to be predominant over narrow Tb³⁺ emission. Luminescence studies showed that Eu³⁺ ions occupy asymmetric sites in Zn₂SiO₄ lattice. The intense f-f absorption peak of Eu³⁺ at 395 nm observed in these phosphors suggests their potential as red emitting phosphors for near ultra-violet light emitting diodes.     

Cooperative luminescence and absorption in ytterbium doped aluminosilicate glass optical fibres and preforms

The cooperative luminescence and absorption properties of Yb³⁺ doped aluminosilicate glass optical fibres and preforms are investigated in detail. In accordance with previous investigations, both the visible cooperative luminescence and the infrared luminescence decay measurements have been resolved into a single exponential decay component. We show that for a glass with similar Yb³⁺ dopant concentration but more Al³⁺, the glass emits less visible luminescence. Absorption loss measurements completed on fibre samples revealed a broad absorption in the 350-500 nm range, which we propose is due to a combination of Yb²⁺ absorption and cooperative absorption from Yb³⁺ ion pairs.     

Synthesis and Sm/Sm doping effects on photoluminescence properties of Sr4Al14O25

Complete and partial samarium reduction was achieved under strong reducing atmosphere by solid-state and combustion synthesis of Sr_3.96Sm_0.04Al₁₄O₂₅. Dependence of different fluxing agents on the formation of various strontium aluminates was examined. The samples were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction, temperature dependent luminescence decay and photoluminescence measurements. Excitation with UV radiation resulted in sharp and well resolved emission lines of samarium ions. Distinct temperature behavior for Sm²⁺ and Sm³⁺ were detected in the range of 100-500 K. Estimated emission thermal quenching values (TQ_1/2) for divalent samarium were approximately 270 K while for trivalent state around 660 K. Measured luminescence decay values of Sm²⁺ are substantially lower than for Sm³⁺,≈1.7 and ≈2.7 ms, respectively. The spectral feature of Sm²⁺ emission spectrum indicates that dopant occupies low symmetry site in Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅ compound.     

Influence of crystal field potential on the spectroscopic parameters of SiO2·B2O3·PbO glass doped with Nd2O3

This paper presents the optical characteristics of Nd³⁺ silicate glass (SiO₂-B₂O₃-PbO), synthesized by the fusion method. Two sets of samples were prepared: glass and corresponding glass ceramics. Optical absorption, luminescence, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements were performed in order to determine the structural properties of the systems and the radiative characteristics of Nd³⁺ ions. Near infrared luminescence exhibited typical Nd³⁺ bands. Raman and AFM measurements indicated nanocrystal growth with thermal treatment of the glass ceramics. Judd-Ofelt calculations also confirmed that heat treatment induced structural rearrangement of the samples that was dependent on Nd₂O₃ concentration. This resulted in changes in the optical and physical properties of the samples, including stimulated emission cross section and rigidity.     

Luminescence efficiency of aromatic carboxylates of europium and terbium when methylene bridges and nitro groups are present in the ligands

We discuss the possibility of optimizing the brightness of luminescence for phenylcarboxylates, naphthylcarboxylates, and indolylcarboxylates of europium and terbium and their adducts with 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2′-bipyridine by modifying the ligands. We have studied the efficiency of luminescence and luminescence excitation. We consider the effect of blocking energy transfer from the ligands to the Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions by methylene (-CH₂-) bridges dividing the π-electron system of the ligands into two parts and by the electronacceptor nitro group (-NO₂). We have analyzed the pathways for transfer and degradation of the excitation energy at 77 K and 300 K. From the phosphorescence spectra of gadolinium salts, we have determined the energies of the lowest excited triplet states of the ligands. We consider the effect of the relative positions of the triplet levels of the ligands and the excited levels of the Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions on the luminescence efficiency. We found channels for dissipation of the excitation energy via the ππ* and nπ* states of the aromatic system of the carboxylate and the NO₂ group. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 74, No. 1, pp. 48–54, January–February, 2007.     

The effect of Mg ions on the photoluminescence of Ce-doped silica

In this paper, we report enhanced luminescence of Mg-co-doped silica gels, which were prepared by a sol-gel method. The total amount of Ce³⁺ ions was kept constant in this experiment at 0.5 mol% total doping. Structural, morphological, thermal, optical absorption and photoluminescence studies were employed. The XRD spectra show that all the samples are non-crystalline. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that the particles were in nano-range and spherical in shape. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) of samples depict that the presence of dopant and co-dopant decreases the endothermic peak temperature; while Ce³⁺ increase the yield, Mg²⁺ reduces it. UV analyses revealed that the presence of Ce³⁺ ions increases transmittance but lowers absorbance of annealed silica xerogels, while that of Mg²⁺ ions reduces transmittance but increases absorbance. Luminescence intensities were compared for different gels with and without Mg particles by varying the different concentrations of Mg. Silica containing Mg²⁺ ions had broad blue emission due to energy transfer from Mg²⁺ to Ce³⁺, which is due to radiative recombination. An increase in luminescence intensity was observed as the Mg²⁺ to Ce³⁺ ratio increased for the range investigated.

The luminescence efficiency of YAG: Ce phosphors

The luminescence intensity of Yttrium aluminium garnet activated by the Ce³⁺ (YAGCe³⁺) under cathode-ray excitation depends on the preparation method and content of some dopants. Samples containing Fe, Pt, Ir or some colour centre, respectively, show relatively low luminescence. The maximum luminescence intensity was obtained with the Czochralski method grown single crystals in 98% Ar+2% H₂ atmosphere which were sensitized by oxygen annealing followed by treatment at 1500 °C in molybdenum container using a wet hydrogen atmosphere.     

Low temperature quenching and high efficiency Tm, La or Tb co-doped CaSc2O4:Ce phosphors for light-emitting diodes

Low temperature quenching and high efficiency CaSc₂O₄:Ce³⁺ (CSO:Ce³⁺) phosphors co-doped with Tm³⁺, La³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions were prepared by a solid state method and the phase-forming, morphology, luminescence and application properties of these phosphors were investigated. The results showed that co-doping of Tm³⁺, La³⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions can improve the luminescence properties and decrease temperature quenching of CSO:Ce³⁺ phosphor remarkably. High efficiency green-light-emitting diodes were fabricated with the prepared phosphors and InGaN blue-emitting (∼460 nm) chips. The good performances of the green-light-emitting LEDs made from co-doped CSO:Ce³⁺ phosphors confirm the luminescence enhancement and indicate that Tm³⁺, La³⁺ and Tb³⁺ co-doped CSO:Ce³⁺ phosphors are suitable candidates for the fabrication of high efficiency white LEDs.
