Abstract

Transparent SiO{sub 2}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-NaF-YF{sub 3} glass ceramics co-doped with Er{sup 3+} and Tm{sup 3+} were prepared by melt quenching and subsequent heating. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy experiments revealed that {beta}-YF{sub 3} nanocrystals incorporated with Er{sup 3+} and Tm{sup 3+} were precipitated homogeneously among the oxide glass matrix. An integrated broad near-infrared emission band in the wavelength region of 1300-1700 nm, consisting of Tm{sup 3+} emissions around 1472 nm ({sup 3}H{sub 4}{yields}{sup 3}F{sub 4}) and 1626 nm ({sup 3}F{sub 4}{yields}{sup 3}H{sub 6}), and Er{sup 3+} emission around 1543 nm ({sup 4}I{sub 13/2}{yields}{sup 4}I{sub 15/2}), was obtained under 792 nm laser excitation. The full width at half maximum of this integrated band increased with the increasing of [Tm]/[Er] ratio, and it reached as large as 175 nm for the 0.1 mol% Er{sup 3+} and 0.8 mol% Tm{sup 3+} co-doped sample. The energy transfers between Er{sup 3+} and Tm{sup 3+} were proposed to play an important role in tailoring the emission bandwidth of the sample.

Broadband near-infrared emission from transparent Ni{sup 2+}-doped silicate glass ceramics

Journal Article Zhou Shifeng ; Dong Huafang ; Zeng Heping ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Transparent Ni{sup 2+}-doped MgO-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-TiO{sub 2}-SiO{sub 2} glass ceramics were prepared, and the optical properties of Ni{sup 2+}-doped glass ceramics were investigated. Broadband emission centered at 1320 nm was observed by 980 nm excitation. The longer wavelength luminescence compared with Ni{sup 2+}-doped Li{sub 2}O-Ga{sub 2}O{sub 3}-SiO{sub 2} glass ceramics is ascribed to the low crystal field hold by Ni{sup 2+} in MgO-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}-TiO{sub 2}-SiO{sub 2} glass ceramics. The change in optical signals at the telecommunication bands with or without 980 nm excitation was also measured when the seed beam passes through the bulk gain host.

Three-photon near-infrared quantum cutting in Tm{sup 3+}-doped transparent oxyfluoride glass ceramics

Journal Article Yu, D. C. ; Zhang, J. P. ; Chen, Q. J. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Efficient three-step sequential three-photon near-infrared (NIR) quantum cutting in Tm{sup 3+}-doped transparent oxyfluoride glass ceramics has been demonstrated, where an absorbed blue photon could be cut into three NIR photons at 1190, 1460, and 1800 nm with quantum yield greater than unity. On the basis of static and dynamic photoemission, monitored excitation, and time-resolved fluorescence spectra, we investigate in detail the underlying optoelectronic mechanism. Further development of an efficient triply-cutting material might open up a path towards ultra-efficient photonic devices, which enables more photons emitted than absorbed in the excitation process.

Energy transfer characteristics of silicate glass doped with Er{sup 3+}, Tm{sup 3+}, and Ho{sup 3+} for ∼2 μm emission

Journal Article Li, Ming ; Liu, Xueqiang ; Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100039 ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

A Er{sup 3+}/Tm{sup 3+}/Ho{sup 3+} tri-doped silicate glass with good thermal stability is prepared by melt-quenching method. Efficient ∼2 μm emission is observed under 808 nm laser excitation. It is found that the 2.0 μm emission of Ho{sup 3+} can be enhanced under the excitation at 808 nm by incorporating Er{sup 3+} and Tm{sup 3+}. Based on the measurement of absorption spectra, the Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters, radiation emission probability, and branching ratio are calculated to evaluate the spectroscopic properties simultaneously. The maximum value of emission cross section of Ho{sup 3+} is 3.54 × 10{sup −21} cm{sup 2} at 2008 nm.more »« less

Broadband three-photon near-infrared quantum cutting in Tm{sup 3+} singly doped YVO{sub 4}

Journal Article Wang, Y. Z. ; Yu, D. C. ; Lin, H. H. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

An efficient three-photon near-infrared (NIR) quantum cutting (QC) is reported in Tm{sup 3+} singly doped YVO{sub 4} polycrystalline phosphors, where an optimized content of Tm{sup 3+} is determined to be 1.0 mol. %. Upon the absorption of a visible photon around 473 nm, three NIR photons emitting at 1180, 1479, and 1800 nm can be obtained efficiently by the sequential three-step radiative transitions of Tm{sup 3+}. The underlying mechanisms are analyzed in terms of the steady and dynamic fluorescence spectra measurements. Internal quantum yield is calculated to be 161.8% as a theoretical value when luminescence quenching due to defect species can be overcome.more »« less

Graphical abstract: The doping ions tune the UC luminescence of the T- AgGd(W,Mo){sub 2}O{sub 8}:Yb{sup 3+}/Er{sup 3+}/Tm{sup 3+} material. - Highlights: • AgGd(W,Mo){sub 2}O{sub 8}:Yb{sup 3+}/Er{sup 3+}/Tm{sup 3+} phosphors show color-tunable blue, green, and red UC emissions. • The samples’ UC emission color can be switched with the concentrations of doped ions. • The blue, green and red UC mechanisms are interpreted reasonably as three- and two- photon process. - Abstract: Tetragonal Yb{sup 3+}/Er{sup 3+}/Tm{sup 3+} tri-doped AgGd(W,Mo){sub 2}O{sub 8} phosphors were prepared by the high-temperature solid-state method.
