Influence of Yb~(3+) concentration on the upconversion luminescence of oxyfluoride material doped with Er~(3+)

In this paper,a new upconversion luminescent material co-doped with Erbium and Ytterbium is reported. The upconversion luminescence transition routes and related properties are studied. The results show that the absorption and emission intensities under excitation of 980 nm laser increase with the increase of the Yb3+ concentration. The red emission is stronger than the green emission. The energy transfer process plays an important role in the upconversion mechanism.

Multi-photon upconversion luminescence of Er~(3+)-doped Y_2O_3 nanocrystals

Visible upconversion emission intensities are investigated in Er3＋-doped Y203 nanocrystals. We also find that the upconversion intensity varies nonlinearly with the excitation power with a threshold of 110 mW, which indicates that the green and red emissions would be photon avalanche upconversion when the excitation power exceeds the threshold.     

Up-conversion luminescence polarization control in Er~(3+)-doped NaYF_4 nanocrystals

We propose a femtosecond laser polarization modulation scheme to control the up-conversion(UC) luminescence in Er~(3+)-doped NaYF_4 nanocrystals dispersed in the silicate glass. We show that the UC luminescence can be suppressed when the laser polarization is changed from linear through elliptical to circular, and the higher repetition rate will yield the lower control efficiency. We theoretically analyze the physical control mechanism of the UC luminescence polarization modulation by considering on- and near-resonant two-photon absorption, energy transfer up-conversion, and excited state absorption, and show that the polarization control mainly comes from the contribution of near-resonant two-photon absorption. Furthermore, we propose a method to improve the polarization control efficiency of UC luminescence in rare-earth ions by applying a two-color femtosecond laser field.

Hydrothermal synthesis and up-conversion luminescence of Ho~(3+)/Yb~(3+)co-doped CaF_2

CaF2：Ho3＋/Yb3＋ nano-particles with intense green up-conversion （UC） luminescence are successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal approach by using NH4F as the fluoride source and Na2EDTA as a chelating reagent. Powder X- ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, field emission scanning electron microscopy （FE-SEM）, and UC emission spectra are used to characterize the structures, shapes, and luminescent properties of the samples. The effects from fluoride sources and chelating reagents on the formations of CaF2 nano-particles are investigated, and the for- mation process is also deduced. Under the excitation of a 980-nm laser diode, the samples each show a green up-conversion emission centered at 540 nm corresponding to the 5S2/5F4-＋518 transitions of Ho3＋. Moreover, the UC mechanisms of Ho3＋/Yb3＋ co-doped CaF2 nano-particles are also discussed.

Er3＋ ion concentration effect on transient and steady-state behavior in Er3＋ ：YAG crystal

The effect of Er3＋ ion concentration on transient and steady-state behavior in 45-nm Er3＋ ：YAG crystal is investigated. It is shown that by changing the signal field, the coherent field and the concentration of Er3＋ ions in the crystal, the absorption, dispersion, and group index of the weak probe field can be adjusted. Also, it is found that the probe absorption occurs in the presence of population inversion and probe amplification is obtained in the absence of population inversion.     

Up-conversion luminescence tuning in Er~(3+) -doped ceramic glass by femtosecond laser pulse at different laser powers

The up-conversion luminescence tuning of rare-earth ions is an important research topic for understanding luminescence mechanisms and promoting related applications. In this paper, we experimentally study the up-conversion luminescence tuning of Er~(3+)-doped ceramic glass excited by the unshaped, V-shaped and cosine-shaped femtosecond laser field with different laser powers. The results show that green and red up-conversion luminescence can be effectively tuned by varying the power or spectral phase of the femtosecond laser field. We further analyze the up-conversion luminescence tuning mechanism by considering different excitation processes, including single-photon absorption(SPA), two-photon absorption(TPA), excited state absorption(ESA), and energy transfer up-conversion(ETU). The relative weight of TPA in the whole excitation process can increase with the increase of the laser power, thereby enhancing the intensity ratio between green and red luminescence(I_(547)/I_(656)). However, the second ETU(ETU2) process can generate red luminescence and reduce the green and red luminescence intensity ratio I_(547)/I_(656), while the third ESA(ESA3) process can produce green luminescence and enhance its control efficiency. Moreover, the up-conversion luminescence tuning mechanism is further validated by observing the up-conversion luminescence intensity, depending on the laser power and the down-conversion luminescence spectrum under the excitation of 400-nm femtosecond laser pulse. These studies can present a clear physical picture that enables us to understand the up-conversion luminescence tuning mechanism in rare-earth ions, and can also provide an opportunity to tune up-conversion luminescence to promote its related applications.     

Enhancement of upconversion luminescence due to the formation of nanocrystals in Er~(3+)-doped tellurite glasses

Optically transparent Er3 -doped tellurite-based nanocrystallized glasses with the composition of 70TeO2·15Li2O·15Nb2O5·0.5Er2O3 (mol) have been prepared by a conventional melting quenching and the subsequent heat treatment processes. The sizes of grown nanocrystals in glass matrix appear to be 35-50 nm from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement. The microhardness measurement shows that the Vickers hardness values of the nanocrystallized tellurite glasses are larger (33%-62%) than those in the base glass. The Raman spectra imply that the maximum phonon energy of the based glass decreases and shifts from 668 to 638 cm-1 after heat-treatment. Visible upconversion luminescence and infrared luminescence of the base glass and heat-treated glasses under 980-nm laser diode (LD) excitation are investigated. The 524-, 546- and 656-nm upconversion intensities by 980-nm pumping increase significantly.     

Structure and up-conversion luminescence of Pr~(3+)/Yb~(3+) co-doped Ca Nb_2O_6 thin films by pulsed laser deposition

Pr3t∕Yb3tco-doped Ca Nb2O6 thin films are deposited on Si(100) substrates by pulsed laser deposition and annealed at different temperatures in air atmosphere. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectra are used to characterize the samples. The results show that the annealing temperature has a strong effect on the film's grain size, structure,morphology, and the up-conversion luminescence properties. The grain size and up-conversion luminescence of Pr3t∕Yb3tco-doped Ca Nb2O6 films increases with the increasing annealing temperature.     

Up-conversion luminescence properties and energy transfer of Er~(3+)/Yb~(3+)co-doped oxyfluoride glass ceramic containing CaF_2 nano-crystals

The Er3+/Yb3+co-doped transparent oxyfluoride glass-ceramics containing CaF2nano-crystals were successfully prepared. After heat treatments, transmission electron microscopy(TEM) images showed that CaF2nano-crystals of 20–30 nm in diameter precipitated uniformly in the glass matrix. Comparing with the host glass, high efficiency upconversion luminescence of Er3+at 540 nm and 658 nm was observed in the glass ceramics under the excitation of 980 nm. Moreover,the size of the precipitated nano-crystals can be controlled by heat-treatment temperature and time. With the increase of the nano-crystal size, the intensity of the red emission increased more rapidly than that of the green emission. The energy transfer process of Er3+and Yb3+was convinced and the possible mechanism of Er3+up-conversion was discussed.

Three-factor orthogonal design(OD) of Er~(3+)/Gd~(3+)/T(calcination temperature) is used to optimize the luminescent intensity of Na Y(Gd)(MoO_4)_2:Er~(3+)phosphor.Firstly,the uniform design(UD) is introduced to explore the doping concentration range of Er~(3+)/Gd~(3+).Then OD and range analysis are performed based on the results of UD to obtain the primary and secondary sequence and the best combination of Er~(3+),Gd~(3+),and T within the experimental range.The optimum sample is prepared by the high temperature solid state method.Photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra of the optimum sample are detected.The intense green emissions(530 nm and 550 nm) are observed which originate from Er~(3+)~2H_(11/2)→~4I_(15/2)and~4S_(3/2)→~4I_(15/2),respectively.Thermal effect is investigated in the optimum NaY(Gd~(3+))(MoO_4)_2:Er~(3+)phosphors,and the green emission intensity decreases as temperature increases.     

Efficient up-conversion Yb~(3+), Er~(3+) co-doped Na_5Lu_9F_(32) single crystal for photovoltaic application under solar cell spectrum excitation

Yb~(3+)/Er~(3+)co-doped Na_5Lu_9F_(32) single crystals used as a spectral up-converter to improve the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells are prepared via an improved Bridgman approach. Green and red up-conversion(UC) emissions under the excitation of near-infrared(NIR) bands of 900–1000 nm and1400–1600 nm can be observed. The effectiveness of the prepared materials as a spectral converter is verified by the enhancement of power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells. The sample with a UC layer is 15.5%more efficient in converting sunlight to electricity compared to the UC layer-free sample due to the absorption of sunlight in the NIR range. The results suggest the synthesized Yb~(3+)/Er~(3+)co-doped Na_5Lu_9F_(32) single crystals are suitable for enhancing the performance of perovskite solar cells.
