Effect of nanocrystals on up-conversion luminescence of Er3+,Yb3+ co-doped glass-ceramics

Different up-conversion luminescent spectra of Er3+ ions were observed in the oxyfluoride glass-ceramics.The ratio of two fluorides in the original compositions was modified in order to form different nanocrystals.The intensity of up-conversion luminescence increased sharply when the ratio of PbF2 and CdF2 was 40:10.The data of differential thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction were used to explain the optimization fluoride ratio. The intensity of up-conversion luminescence is not only decided by the crystallizability but also mainly related with the stoichiometric proportion of fluoride nanocrystals in the glass-ceramics.

共沉淀法制备Y2SiO5∶Er3+ ,Yb3+ ,Tm3+及其上转换发光性能研究

采用化学共沉淀法制备了系列Y_1.98-2xYb_2x Er_0.02SiO₅(0.00≤x≤0.15)以及Y_1.736Yb_0.24Er_0.02Tm_0.004SiO₅上转换发光材料,比较了室温下Y_1.98-2xYb_2x Er_0.02 SiO₅ (x=0.00,0.08)样品在400—1600 nm范围内的吸收光谱,测量了所有样品在976 nm OPO激光器激发下的上转换发射光谱,以及Er³⁺离子⁴S_3/2(⁴F_9/2)→⁴I_15/2,Tm³⁺离子¹G₄→³H₆荧光衰减曲线和不同激发功率下的上转换蓝光发射强度,从而分析讨论了Er³⁺,Tm³⁺在Y₂SiO₅中的上转换发光机理.研究结果表明:在1250 ℃相对较低的温度下合成了X2型单斜晶系Y₂SiO₅ ∶Ln³⁺(Ln³⁺=Er³⁺,Yb³⁺,Tm³⁺),Yb³⁺的敏化显著增强了样品在976 nm附近的吸收能力,并大幅度加宽了该处的吸收带.分析上转换发射光谱发现:上转换绿光和红光强度都随着Yb³⁺浓度的增加先增强后减弱,但红光的猝灭浓度较高,归因于Er³⁺→Yb³⁺反向能量传递ETU4和Yb³⁺→Er³⁺正向能量传递ETU3过程的发生;上转换蓝光发射是三光子吸收过程,是通过Yb³⁺,Tm³⁺之间三次声子辅助的能量转移方式实现的. 关键词： 上转换 共沉淀 2SiO₅∶Er³⁺')" href="#">Y₂SiO₅∶Er³⁺ 3+')" href="#">Yb³⁺ 3+')" href="#">Tm³⁺     

Wavelength tuning in Er3+,Yb3+:glass microchip lasers

The paper presents the investigation results of laser generation around 1.5 μm at different wavelengths. The shifts of the wavelength were achieved by the change of pump power, transmission of an output mirror, and length of an active medium. Mathematical analysis and explanation of this phenomenon was curried out on the basis of the change in relation between the gain and loss lines.

Enhancement of up-conversion luminescence in Zn2SiO4:Yb3+, Er3+ by co-doping with Li+ or Bi3+

Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ co-doped Zn₂SiO₄ ceramics are rapidly synthesized by the microwave radiation method. Green and red up-conversion emissions are observed in Zn₂SiO₄: Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ ceramics under 980 nm excitation. The influence of co-doped Li⁺ or Bi³⁺ ion on luminescence intensity for the phosphors has been investigated. At Li⁺ or Bi³⁺ doping concentration of 1 mol%, up-converted green emission can be increased by 6 times and 20 times, respectively. It is believed that co-doped Li⁺ or Bi³⁺ ion results in the local distortion of Er³⁺ in Zn₂SiO₄, increasing the intra-4f transitions of Er³⁺ ions. The local distortion is proved by spectral probing method with Eu³⁺.     

Infrared to visible upconversion luminescence in Er3+/Yb3+ doped titanate glass prepared by containerless processing

Er³⁺ doped TiO₂–La₂O₃ glasses modified by ZrO₂ have been successfully fabricated by the containerless method with incorporated Yb³⁺ ions as sensitizers. Under the excitation of 980 and 808 nm diode lasers, visible emissions centered at 534, 554 and 674 nm are observed, which are assigned to the Er³⁺ transitions of ²H_11/2→⁴I_15/2, ⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2, respectively. The emission signals are so strong that they can be observed by naked eyes even at pumping power as low as 20 mW. Measurements of pump-power dependent intensity and time-resolved decay behavior of upconversion luminescence show that two-photon excited state absorption (ESA) and energy transfer (ET) between rare earth ions are the predominant mechanisms for upconversion emissions. Besides, the intensity of upconversion luminescence has been enhanced by increasing the concentration of ZrO₂ in these rare earth doped bulk titanate glasses.     

YLiF4: Er3+, Tm3+, Yb3+中Tm3+浓度对上转换发光的影响

利用水热法合成了YLiF4: Er3 , Tm3 , Yb3 , 其中Er3 和Yb3 的浓度保持固定不变, 分别为1 mol%和1.5 mol%, Tm3 浓度变化范围是2 mol%～8 mol%. 在这种共掺杂体系中, 同时观察到了Er3 , Tm3 和Yb3 的吸收, 且Tm3 的吸收随着其浓度的增强而增强. 在980 nm光的激发下, 当Tm3 浓度很小时, 这种材料的上转换发光为白光. 其中蓝光主要来源于Tm3 的激发态1G4到基态3H6的跃迁, 绿光来源于Er3 的4S3/2和2H11/2到基态4I15/2的跃迁, 红光既来源于Tm3 的1G4→3F4的跃迁, 也来源于Er3 的4F9/2→4I15/2的跃迁. 并且这种上转换发光强度随着Tm3 浓度的增强而降低, 但对应不同能级跃迁的发光强度降低的幅度不同, 这是因为Er3 和Tm3 之间的相互作用.

Spectra and lasing properties of Er~(3+),Yb~(3+):phosphate glasses

The effects of Al_2O_3, Yb_2O_3, Er_2O_3 and OH~- on spectral properties of P_2O_5.Na_2O.SrO.Al_2O_3.Yb_2O_3.Er_2O_3 erbium phosphate glass were studied. 5, 8, and 13 mol% Al_2O_3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 mol% Yb_2O_3 and0.05, 0.2, and 0.4 mol% Er_2O_3 were used. It was found that Al_2O_3 can improve fluorescent lifetime ofEr~(3+)ions, but the integrated absorption cross section of Er~(3+)ions decreases with the increase of Al_2O_3concentration. Evaluating from energy transfer efficiency of Yb~(3+)to Er~(3+)and spectral parameters ofYb~(3+)and Er~(3+),we conclude that 6 mol% Yb_2O_3 and 0.4 mol% Er_2O_3 are needed for LD pumped

Lead fluorosilicate glass ceramics doped with Nd3+, Er3+, and Yb3+

Glasses in the PbF₂-PbO-SiO₂ system doped with 1 mol % of rare-earth elements (Nd³⁺, Er³⁺, or Yb³⁺) are synthesized and studied. The glasses were heat-treated in order to obtain glass ceramics with a fluoride crystalline phase. The changes in the structure and spectral optical properties of glass ceramics with respect to initial glasses were determined by using X-ray diffraction analysis and by studying the luminescent characteristics of dopant ions.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of Gd6MoO12:Yb3+, Er3+ phosphor with enhanced photoluminescence by Li+ doping

Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ co-doped Gd₆MoO₁₂ and Yb³⁺/Er³⁺/Li⁺ tri-doped Gd₆MoO₁₂ phosphors were prepared by adjusting the annealing temperature via the high temperature solid-state method. Under the excitation of 980 nm semiconductor, the upconversion luminescence properties were investigated and discussed. In the experimental process, we get the optimum Yb³⁺ concentration and the concentration quench effect will happen while the concentration extends the given region. According to the Yb³⁺ concentration quenching effects, the critical distance between Yb³⁺ ions had been calculated. The measured UC luminescence exhibited a strong red emission near 660 nm and green emission at 530 nm and 550 nm, which are due to the transitions of Er³⁺(⁴F_9/2, ²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2) → Er³⁺(⁴I_15/2). Then the effect of excitation power density in different regions on the upconversion mechanisms was investigated and the calculated results demonstrate that the green and red upconversion is a two-photon process. A possible mechanism was discussed. After Li⁺ ions mixing, the upconversion emission enhanced largely, and the optimum Li⁺ concentration was obtained while fixed the Yb³⁺ and Er³⁺ on the above optimum concentration. This enhancement owns to the decrease of the local symmetry around Er³⁺ after Li⁺ ions doping into the system. This result indicates that Li⁺ is a promising candidate for improving luminescence in some case.     

Photoluminescence in Gd2O3: Er3+, Yb3+ upconversion inverse opal

Photoluminescence properties of Gd₂O₃: Er³⁺, Yb³⁺ upconversion inverse opal photonic crystals were investigated. The photoluminescence spectra of the inverse opal show strong dependence on upconversion emission intensity and the corresponding photonic band-gaps of the inverse opal. Significant suppression of the green or red upconversion emission was observed if the photonic band-gap overlaps with the Er³⁺ ions emission band. The color purity of the red or green emission was improved in the inverse opal by the suppression of green or red UC emission. We believe that the present work will be valuable for not only the foundational study of upconversion emission modification but also new optical devices in upconversion lighting and display.

Both green and red upconversion radiations slightly decrease with increasing temperature. Room-temperature measured efficiency is compared with the calculated one obtained from the rate equation model of Wright.
