Upconversion luminescence of Tm^3＋/Yb^3＋ codoped oxyfluoride glasses

Novel oxyfluoride glasses are developed with the composition of 30SiO2-15Al2O3-28PbF2-22CdF2-0.1TmF3 - xYbF3 - （4.9 - x） AlF3（x=0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0） in tool fraction, Furthermore, the upconversion luminescence characteristics under a 970nm excitation are investigated. Intense blue, red and near infrared luminescences peaked at 453nm, 476nm, 647nm and 789nm, which correspond to the transitions of Tm^3＋： ^1D2 →^3F4, ^1G4 →^3H6, ^1G4 →^3F4, and ^3H4 →^3H6, respectively, are observed. Due to the sensitization of Yb^3＋ ions, all the upconversion luminescence intensities are enhanced considerably with Yb^3＋ concentration increasing. The upconversion mechanisms are discussed based on the energy matching rule and quadratic dependence on excitation power. The results indicate that the dominant mechanism is the excited state absorption for those upconversion emissions.

ANISOTROPY OF OPTICAL ABSORPTION INTENSITY IN Tm3+ DOPED YVO4 CRYSTALS

Seven absorption group-bands (¹D₂, ¹G₄, ³F₂, ³F₃, ³H₄, ³H₅, ³F₄) of Tm³⁺ in YVO₄ single crystals have been observed in the orientation absorption spectra recorded in the spectral range from 200 to 4000 nm at 300K. The integrated absorption cross section for each group-band was accurately evaluated. On the assumption that the anisotropy of this uni-axial crystal is small, the Judd-Ofelt theory was extended for the calculation of 4f-4f transition intensities of Tm³⁺ in YVO₄. Two sets of phenomenological intensity parameters were derived from a least-squares-fit procedure. For c-axis cut sample we have Ω₂=10.18 (10^-20cm²), Ω₄=1.96 (10^-20cm²), Ω₆=0.75 (10^-20cm²).For a-axis cut sample we have Ω₂=8.20 (10^-20cm²), Ω₄=2.47 (10^-20cm²), Ω₆=0.91 (10^-20cm²). The anisotropy of the optical absorption intensities of Tm³⁺:YVO₄ was theoretically analyzed in detail.

Ultraviolet and visible upconversion luminescence of Tm(0.1)Yb(5):FOV oxyfluoride nanophase vitroceramics

The ultraviolet upconversion luminescence of Tm³⁺ ions sensitized by Yb³⁺ ions in oxyfluoride nanophase vitroceramics when excited by a 975 nm diode laser was studied. An ultraviolet upconversion luminescence line positioned at 363.6 nm was found. It was attributed to the fluorescence transition of ¹D₂→³H₆ of Tm³⁺ ion. Several visible upconversion luminescence lines at 450.7 nm, (477.0 nm, 462.5 nm), 648.5 nm, (680.5 nm, 699.5 nm) and (777.2 nm, 800.7 nm) were also found, which result respectively from the fluorescence transitions of ¹D₂→³F₄, ¹G₄→³H₆, ¹G₄→³F₄, ³F₃→³H₆ and ³H₄→³H₆ of Tm³⁺ ion. The careful measurement and analysis of the variation of upconversion luminescence intensity F as a function of the 975 nm pumping laser power P prove that the upconversion luminescence of ¹D₂ state is partly a five-photon upconversion luminescence, and the upconversion luminescence of ¹G₄ state and ³H₄ state are respectively the three-photon and two-photon upconversion luminescence. The theoretical analysis suggested that the upconversion mechanism of the 363.6 nm ¹D₂→³H₆ upconversion luminescence is partly the cross energy transfer of {³H₄(Tm³⁺), ³F₄(Tm³⁺), ¹G₄(Tm³⁺)→¹D₂(Tm³⁺)} and {¹G₄(Tm³⁺)→³F₄(Tm³⁺), ³H₄(Tm³⁺)→¹D₂(Tm³⁺)} between Tm³⁺ ions. In addition, the upconversion luminescence of ¹G₄ and ³H₄ state results respectively from the sequential energy transfer {²F_5/2(Yb³⁺)→²F_7/2(Yb³⁺), ³H₄(Tm³⁺)→¹G₄(Tm³⁺)} and {²F_5/2(Yb³⁺) →²F_7/2(Yb³⁺), ³F₄(Tm³⁺)→³F₂(Tm³⁺)} from Yb³⁺ ions to Tm³⁺ ions.

Influence of precipitant solution pH on the structural, morphological and upconversion luminescent properties of Lu2O3:2%Yb, 0.2%Tm nanopowders

Lutetium oxide nanopowders codoped with Tm³⁺ and Yb³⁺ were synthesized by the reverse-strike co-precipitation method. Effects of precipitant solution pH on the structural, morphological and upconversion luminescent properties of Lu₂O₃:2%Yb, 0.2%Tm nanopowders had been investigated. The results show that pH value of the precipitant (NH₄HCO₃) solution has a significant effect on the particle size, morphology and upconversion emission intensity of the Lu₂O₃:2%Yb, 0.2%Tm nanopowders. All the samples obtained from different pH value of precipitant solution can be readily indexed to pure cubic phase of Lu₂O₃, indicating good crystallinity. The upconversion emission intensity of Lu₂O₃:2%Yb, 0.2%Tm nanopowders obtained from the precipitant solution with pH=11 is the strongest. The enhancement of the upconversion luminescence is suggested to be the consequence of reducing the number of OH⁻ groups and the enlarged nanopowder size. The strong blue, weak red and near infrared emissions from the prepared nanopowders were observed under 980 nm laser excitation, and attributed to the ¹G₄→³H₆, ¹G₄→³F₄ and ³H₄→³H₆ transitions of Tm³⁺ ion, respectively.     

Photoluminescence and energy transfer of Tm doped LiIn (WO4)2 blue phosphors

Room temperature steady and time resolved emission spectra of LiIn_1−xTm_x(WO4)2 (where thulium concentration is 0, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 at%) blue phosphors, under UV excitation energy have been investigated. The concentration quenching effect on the blue emission, due to the (WO₄)⁻² groups and ¹G₄→³H₆ emission transition of Tm³⁺ were studied. Two energy transfer mechanisms are shown. The first takes place between excited (WO₄)⁻² groups and the ¹G₄ energy level of Tm³⁺, and is mainly analyzed by phonon-assisted energy transfer. The second mechanism is due to an energy transfer from the excited Tm³⁺ ions to the surrounding ground state Tm³⁺ ions. The non-exponential decay curves of the ¹G₄ level observed for higher concentrations are analyzed by the Inokuti–Hirayama model. We think that the quenching effect between Tm³⁺ ions is mainly linked to the dipole–dipole interactions.
