Abstract: | Er(3+) green upconversion (UC) emission corresponding to the transition of (4)S(3/2) ((2)H(11/2))-->(4)I(15/2) is enhanced in a Er/Dy-codoped LiNbO(3) crystal compared with Er-doped LiNbO(3) under 800 nm femtosecond-laser excitation at room temperature. The upconversion mechanisms are proposed based on spectral, kinetic, and pump-power dependence analyses. The energy-transfer efficiency from Dy(3+)((4)F(9/2)) to Er(3+)((4)F(7/2)) is 33%, which results in the enhancement of green UC emission. This energy transfer is advantageous for the Er(3+) UC emission sensitized by Dy(3+), especially in a low-phonon-energy host matrix. |
