Abstract:This paper reports on intense blue upconversion in Tm3+/Yb3+ codoped TeO2-Ga2O3-R2O(R=Li, Na, K) glasses upon excitation with commercial available laser diode (LD). Effects of alkali ions on the Raman spectra, thermal stability and spectroscopic properties of the tellurite-gallium glasses have also been investigated. Energy transfer and the involved upconversion mechanisms have been discussed. Intense blue upconversion emission centered at 476 nm along with a weak red emission at 650 nm has been observed upon excitation of 977 nm LD, assigned to the transitions of $${}^{1}G_{4}  \to {}^{3}{\text{H}}_{{\text{6}}} $$, and $${}^{1}G_{4}  \to {}^{3}{\text{H}}_{{\text{4}}} $$ and/or $${}^{3}{\text{F}}_{{2,3}}  \to {}^{3}{\text{H}}_{{\text{6}}} $$ of Tm3+, respectively. The blue upconversion intensity has a cubelike dependence on incident pump laser power, indicating a three-photon process. However, a quadratic dependence of the 476 nm upconversion intensity on the incident pump laser power has been observed when samples under excitation of 808 nm LD due to a two-photon absorption process. Enhanced upconversion luminescence have been observed with replacing K+ for Na+ and Li+.
