Effect of Yb concentration on the upconversion of Er ion doped La2O3 nanocrystals under 980 nm excitation

The effect of Yb³⁺ concentration on the upconversion of La₂O₃:Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ nanocrystals was reported. Green (about at 530 and 549 nm) and red (around at 672 nm) upconversion emissions under 980 nm excitation were observed at room temperature. It was found that the ratio of green to red upconversion emission intensity is considered as a function of Yb³⁺ ion concentration. Of the samples doped with varying Er³⁺ or constant Er³⁺ ion concentration, it can be observed that the intensity ratio drastically decreases with an Yb³⁺ ion concentration increase and the Yb³⁺ ions concentration is around 3 mol% as the emission intensity ratio of green to red upconversion is close to 1.     

Up-conversion luminescence and optical temperature sensing behaviour of Yb3+/Er3+ codoped CaWO4 material

Present article report on structural and optical properties of Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ codoped CaWO₄ phosphors. Structural properties are explored using XRD and Raman technologies. The upconversion emission has been investigated with 980 nm excitation. The upconversion emission intensity is dependent on the concentrations of Yb³⁺ ions and reaches a maximum at 7%. Logarithmic plots of power dependencies reveal that the green and red emissions originate from a two-photon upconversion process. Based on the photon energy and the emission spectra, the possible upconversion processes and emission mechanisms are discussed. Finally, the optical temperature sensing properties has been performed using the fluorescence intensity ratio technique based on green upconversion emissions. Its temperature sensitivity is found to be above 0.0025 K^-1 in the whole temperature range of 300–540 K, revealing this phosphor to be a promising optical temperature sensing material.

Yb3+ and Er3+ co-doped Y2Ce2O7 nanoparticles: synthesis and spectroscopic properties

Yb³⁺ and Er³⁺co-doped Y₂Ce₂O₇ nanoparticles sintered at different temperatures were prepared by homogeneous co-precipitation method. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that the particle sizes and morphologies of the samples were heavily influenced by the sintering temperature. As temperature increased, the particle sizes became gradually larger and more agglomerate. The emissions including green and red upconversion emissions were investigated under 980 nm excitation. The emission intensities of the samples also depended on the sintering temperature. Two photon processes were mainly responsible for green and red upconversion emissions.     

Tm3+/Er3+/Yb3+-codoped oxyhalide tellurite glasses as materials for three-dimensional display

Blue, green and red emissions through frequency upconversion and energy transfer processes in Tm³⁺/Er³⁺/Yb³⁺-codoped oxyhalide tellurite glass under 980 nm excitation are investigated. The intense blue (476 nm), green (530 and 545 nm) and red (656 nm) emissions are simultaneously observed at room temperature. The blue (476 nm) emission was originated from the ¹G₄→³H₆ transition of Tm³⁺. The green (530 and 545 nm), and red (656 nm) upconversion luminescences were identified from the ²H_11/2→⁴I_15/2, ⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2, and ⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2 transitions of Er³⁺, respectively. The energy transfer processes and possible upconversion mechanisms are evaluated.     

Frequency upconversion properties of Er3+/Yb3+-codoped lead–germanium–bismuth oxide glasses

The frequency upconversion properties of Er³⁺/Yb³⁺-codoped heavy metal oxide lead–germanium–bismuth oxide glasses under 975 nm excitation are investigated. Intense green and red emission bands centered at 536, 556 and 672 nm, corresponding to the ²H_11/2 → ⁴I_15/2, ⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2 → ⁴I_15/2 transitions of Er³⁺, respectively, were simultaneously observed at room temperature. The influences of PbO on upconversion intensity for the green (536 and 556 nm) and red (672 nm) emissions were compared and discussed. The optimized rare earth doping ratio of Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺ is 1:5 for these glasses, which results in the stronger upconversion fluorescence intensities. The dependence of intensities of upconversion emission on excitation power and possible upconversion mechanisms were evaluated and analyzed. The structure of glass has been investigated by means of infrared (IR) spectral analysis. The results indicate that the Er³⁺/Yb³⁺-codoped heavy metal oxide lead–germanium–bismuth oxide glasses may be a potential materials for developing upconversion fiber optic devices.

Infrared-to-green up-conversion in Er3+, Yb3+-doped monoclinic KGd(WO4)2 single crystals

Optical spectroscopy of the green emission of erbium in KGd(WO₄)₂ (KGW) single crystals codoped with ytterbium ions is investigated. To do this, we firstly grew good-optical-quality KGW single crystals doped with Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺ at several dopant concentrations by the Top-seeded-solution-growth slow-cooling method (TSSG). Green photoluminescence of Er³⁺ in KGW host was studied at room temperature (RT) and low temperature (10 K) by means of Yb³⁺ sensitization after infrared excitation at 981 nm (10194 cm⁻¹). We calculated the emission and gain cross-sections and compared these with those of other known Er³⁺-doped laser materials like LiYF₄ :Er (YLF:Er) and Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Er (YAG:Er) at RT. Our study also focused on determining the optimal concentration of ions for generating the most intense green emission. We measured the lifetime of the green emission after infrared pump at several Yb³⁺ concentrations. From the low-temperature emission experiments, we determined the energy position of the sublevels of the ground state of erbium.     

Bifunction in Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped BaTi2O5–Gd2O3 glasses prepared by aerodynamic levitation method

Novel Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ co-doped BaTi₂O₅–Gd₂O₃ spherical glasses have been fabricated by aerodynamic levitation method. The thermal stability, upconversion luminescence, and magnetic properties of the present glass have been studied. The glasses show high thermal stability with 763.3 °C of the onset temperature of the glass transition. Red and green emissions centered at 671 nm, 548 nm and 535 nm are obtained at 980 nm excitation. The upconversion is based on a two-photon process by energy transfer, excited-state absorption, and energy back transfer. Yb³⁺ ions are more than Er³⁺ ions in the glass, resulting in efficient energy back transfer from Er³⁺ to Yb³⁺. So the red emission is stronger than the green emissions. Magnetization curves indicate that magnetic rare earth ions are paramagnetic and the distribution is homogeneous and random in the glass matrix. Aerodynamic levitation method is an efficient way to prepare glasses with homogeneous rare earth ions.     

Sol-gel synthesis and green upconversion luminescence in BaGd2(MoO4)4:Yb,Er phosphors

Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ codoped BaGd₂(MoO₄)₄ phosphor powders were prepared by the Sol-gel method and the upconversion luminescence properties were investigated in detail. Under 980 nm semiconductor laser excitation, BaGd₂(MoO₄)₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺ phosphor exhibits green upconversion luminescence with peaks at 530 and 550 nm, which are due to the transitions of Er³⁺ (²H_11/2) → Er³⁺ (⁴I_15/2) and Er³⁺ (⁴S_3/2) → Er³⁺ (⁴I_15/2), respectively. Both of the two green emission lines are produced by populating Er³⁺ ions to the excited state through a two-photon process. By monitoring the intensities of the green upconversion luminescence, the optimum conditions for the Sol-gel synthesis were determined when the molar ratio of citric acid to total chelate metal cations was 2:1 and the sintering temperature was at 1073 K. The concentration quenching effect for Er³⁺ was found at the optimum doping concentration of 6 mol%, and the critical distance for the neighboring Er³⁺ was determined to be about 21.5 Å.
