The electromagnetically induced left-handedness with zero absorption and large negative refractive index was investigated in a solid Er 3+:YAG crystal with a four-level system proposed for an atomic medium. It was found that the frequency region with simultaneous negative permittivity and negative permeability, the zero absorption intervals, and the maximum values of the negative refractive index can be adjusted by changing the signal field, the coherent field, as well as the concentration of Er 3+ ion in crystal. It is shown that wider zero absorption intervals with a higher index of refraction can be easily obtained when the signal field is only off resonance. The slab fabricated by the left-handed solid medium Er 3+:YAG crystal with zero absorption may be a practical candidate for designing perfect lenses. 相似文献

Abstract The theoretical results are presented from a model that has been developed to simulate the 3 μm laser transition in Er 3+-doped laser crystals. The rate equations for the seven lowest energy levels of Er:YAG, Er:YSGG, Er:YLF and Er:BAYF have been solved numerically for both continuous wave (cw) and pulsed (Q-switched and gain switched) laser operation with direct optical pumping into the 4I11/2 energy level. The dependence of slope efficiency on the Er 3+ concentration for each laser crystal was investigated for cw operation and the relative performance of Er(15%):YLF, Er(15%):BAYF, Er(50%):YAG and Er(50%):YSGG was compared for each mode of operation. The change in the slope efficiency of Er:YLF at high Er 3+ concentration, due to additional multi-ion processes, was calculated for a wide range of rate coefficients. It was determined that the slope efficiency could be reduced by as much as 12% by these processes and thus could explain the reduction in the slope efficiency as determined experimentally for lasers using highly doped fluoride crystals as the gain medium. 相似文献

Here the green-emitting highly luminescent Er3+ doped, Er3+-Li+ co-doped, Er3+-Na+ co-doped CaAl4O7 is synthesized by Pechini method at 1000°C. Photoluminescence (PL) of CaAl4O7: Er3+ studies have been compared with Li+ co-doped CaAl4O7: Er3+ and Na+ co-doped CaAl4O7: Er3+. Na+ co-doped CaAl4O7:Er3+ shows increases in luminescence intensity compared to Li+ co-doped CaAl4O7: Er3+ and Er3+ doped CaAl4O7. The results suggest that CaAl4O7:Er3+ phosphor can be used as efficient green-emitting phosphor in white LED. The resultant phosphor emits green color peaking at 549 nm upon 378 nm excitation. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and photoluminescence (PL) techniques have been studied to characterize the synthesized microparticles. Further, this phosphor has good thermal stability that implies its potential to act as green phosphor in white light-emitting diodes. The effect of activator (Er3+), Na+ co-doped CaAl4O7:Er3+, and Li+ co-doped CaAl4O7:Er3+ phosphors luminescence spectra as well as photoluminescence life time studies were studied in detail. The results show that as the concentration of Er3+ in CaAl4O7 increases, the symmetry around the Er3+ ion decreases due to the creation of lattice defects in the crystal. Addition of Na+ and Li+ ions in CaAl4O7: Er3+leads to a small distortion in the local symmetry of Er3+ ions, thereby significantly enhancing its luminescence property. Analysis of photoluminescence life time studies of the prepared samples shows a smaller concentration quenching of Er3+ luminescence in charge compensated Na+ and Li+ CaAl4O7 phosphor. 相似文献

Transparent 45SiO 2–25Al 2O 3–5CaO–10NaF–15CaF 2 glass ceramics doped with different content of erbium ion (Er 3+) were prepared. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) analyses evidenced the spherical CaF 2 nanocrystals homogeneously embedded among the glassy matrix. With increasing of Er 3+ content, the size of CaF 2 nanocrystals decreased while the number density increased. The crystallization kinetics studies revealed that CaF 2 crystallization was a diffusion-controlled growth process from small dimensions with decreasing nucleation rate. Er 3+ could act as nucleating agent to lower down crystallization temperature, while some of them may stay at the crystal surfaces to retard the growth of crystal. Intense red and weak green upconversion emissions were recorded for glass ceramics and their intensities increased with the increasing of Er 3+ content under 980 nm excitation. However, the concentration quenching effect appeared when Er 3+ doping reached 2 mol%. These results could be attributed to the change of ligand field of Er 3+ ions due to the incorporation of Er 3+ ions into precipitated fluoride nanocrystals. 相似文献

The diffuse reflectance and luminescence spectra of Y 2O 2S:Er 3+ and Y 2O 3:Er 3+ are studied under selective and polarized laser excitation. The results indicate that the Er 3+ luminescence bands of yttrium oxysulfide in the 1.54-m region are one order of magnitude stronger and broader than those of yttria. Y 2O 2S:Er 3+ is shown to contain two types of Er-related emission centers differing in the anion environment of the Er 3+ ion. 相似文献

Two atomic models are proposed for an Er 3+-doped YAG crystal with application to lasing with and without population inversion. It is shown how an incoherent pumping field and coherent control coupling field can produce a laser in the presence and absence of population inversion. 相似文献

The paramagnetic salts, eg alums, usually employed in adiabatic demagnetization experiments are inconvenient because of their tendency to dehydration, etc. The refractive oxides with magnetic impurities seem to be more favourable. The authors describe the results obtained with Er 3+ and Nd 3+ substituted yttrium aluminium garnets (YAG). Final temperatures reached after adiabatic demagnetization are comparable to those obtained with cerium magnesium nitrate. The paper illustrates the possible use of Er 3+ and Nd 3+ substitued in YAG for creating a very simple device for obtaining low temperatures in the mK region by adiabatic demagnetization. 相似文献

This work reports on optical spectra of Na 5Lu 9F 32 single crystals doped with various Er 3+ concentrations from 0.5 to 5 mol%. In our improved Bridgman method, the X-ray powder diffractions were investigated and optical parameters were also calculated by the Judd–Ofelt theory. Results showed that Er 3+ ions entered the Lu 3+ sites successfully without causing any obvious peak changes, and the doping concentration of Er 3+ had important influence on the Er 3+ local structure in Na 5Lu 9F 32 crystals. The maximum emission intensities of ~1.5 and ~2.7 μm were obtained in present research when the doping concentration of Er 3+ were 4 and 5 mol%, respectively, under the excitation of 980 nm LD. In these doping concentration, the maximum emission cross-sections were calculated to be 1.37 × 10 ?20 cm 2 (~1.5 μm) and 2.1 × 10 ?20 cm 2 (~2.7 μm). The gain cross-section at 2.7 μm was also estimated according to the absorption and emission cross section spectra. All these spectroscopic characterizations suggested that this fluoride crystal would possess promising applications in infrared lasers. 相似文献

Optical spectroscopy of the green emission of erbium in KGd(WO 4) 2 (KGW) single crystals codoped with ytterbium ions is investigated. To do this, we firstly grew good-optical-quality KGW single crystals doped with Er 3+ and Yb 3+ at several dopant concentrations by the Top-seeded-solution-growth slow-cooling method (TSSG). Green photoluminescence of Er 3+ in KGW host was studied at room temperature (RT) and low temperature (10 K) by means of Yb 3+ 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 Er 3+-doped laser materials like LiYF 4 :Er (YLF:Er) and Y 3Al 5O 12: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 Yb 3+ concentrations. From the low-temperature emission experiments, we determined the energy position of the sublevels of the ground state of erbium. 相似文献

The spectroscopic properties of LaAlO 3 polycrystals doped with Er 3+, Ho 3+ and Yb 3+ ions have been investigated. Very efficient up-conversion emission occurs upon IR excitation. The strongest luminescence has been observed for a sample doped with Er 3+, Ho 3+, and Yb 3+ ions simultaneously and annealed at 1500 °C. An efficient energy transfer to Yb 3+ ions is observed when Er 3+ or Ho 3+ ions are excited. The energy transfer mechanisms are proposed. 相似文献

The effect of Yb 3+ concentration on the upconversion of La 2O 3:Yb 3+, Er 3+ 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 Yb 3+ ion concentration. Of the samples doped with varying Er 3+ or constant Er 3+ ion concentration, it can be observed that the intensity ratio drastically decreases with an Yb 3+ ion concentration increase and the Yb 3+ ions concentration is around 3 mol% as the emission intensity ratio of green to red upconversion is close to 1. 相似文献

Er 3+ and Pr 3+ codoped fluorotellurite glasses has been synthesized. The PL spectrum revealed that the intensity of Er 3+ characteristic emission was enhanced as Pr 3+ concentration increased. Due to small mismatch between the energy level of Er 3+: 4F 7/2 and Pr 3+: 3P 0 resonant energy was possibly transferred between them. While Pr 3+ concentration kept increasing, both Pr 3+ and Er 3+ concentration quenching occurred. These glasses with the controllable CIE coordinates might be a potential candidate for the widely application such as solid state multicolor display. 相似文献

LaOCl:Er 3+ nanofibers and nanobelts were prepared by electrospinning combined with a double-crucible chlorination technique using NH 4Cl powders as chlorinating agent. X-ray powder diffraction analysis indicated that LaOCl:Er 3+ nanostructures were tetragonal with space group P4/nmm. Scanning electron microscope analysis and histograms revealed that diameter of LaOCl:Er 3+ nanofibers and the width of nanobelts respectively were 161.15 ± 18.11 nm and 6.11 ± 0.19 μm under the 95 % confidence level, and the thickness of nanobelts was 116 nm. Up-conversion (UC) emission spectra analysis manifested that LaOCl:Er 3+ nanostructures exhibited strong green and red UC emission centering at 525, 548 and 671 nm, respectively attributed to 2H 11/2 → 4I 15/2, 4S 3/2 → 4I 15/2 and 4F 9/2 → 4I l5/2 energy levels transitions of Er 3+ ions under the excitation of a 980-nm diode laser. It was found that the relative intensities of green and red emissions vary obviously with the changing of concentration of Er 3+ ions, and the optimum molar percentage of Er 3+/(La 3++Er 3+) ions was 5 % in the LaOCl:Er 3+ nanostructures. The LaOCl:x %Er 3+ nanobelts have higher UC emission (both red and green) intensity than the counterpart nanofibers. Moreover, the near-infrared characteristic emissions of LaOCl:Er 3+ nanostructures were achieved under the excitation of a 532-nm laser. Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage analysis demonstrated that color-tuned luminescence can be obtained by changing doping concentration of Er 3+ ions, which could be applied in the fields of optical telecommunication and optoelectronic devices. The UC luminescent mechanism of LaOCl:Er 3+ nanostructures were also proposed. 相似文献

Different concentrations of Er 3+ and Yb 3+ ions-doped potassium niobate (K 0.9NbO 3:Yb (x)Er (0.1 − x) for x = 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.09 and 0.1) polycrystalline powder phosphors were prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Energy transfer and upconversion fluorescence properties of the Yb 3+ and Er 3+-codoped phosphors have been discussed. The XRD data has shown mono-phase for pure KNbO 3 while the doped samples represented additional phase formation. The SEM micrographs represented the rectangular crystal growth habit for the KNbO 3 phosphors when doped with 0.1 mol of Er 3+ ions. An intense green emission at 557 nm along with a red emission at 674 nm was observed when the doped samples were excited with 975 nm IR radiation. The upconversion mechanism has been discussed based on the excited state absorption and energy transfer mechanisms. 相似文献

Luminescence properties of the congruent and vapor transport equilibration (VTE) treated Er:LiNbO 3 and Er:Mg:LiNbO 3 crystals were recorded at room temperature. It is observed that VTE treatment could enhance the emission intensity of Er 3+ ions and doping with MgO would weaken it in the visible spectra. As a result, the luminescence intensity of Er 3+ ions in the VTE treated Er:Mg:LiNbO 3 crystal increased up to 2.2 times than that in the congruent Er:LiNbO 3 crystal. In addition, both VTE treatment and doping with MgO result in some changes of the relative emission intensity of some peaks in the visible emission spectra. In the infrared emission spectra, the luminescence peak at 1540 nm of Er 3+ ions shifts towards the larger wavelength when the Er:LiNbO 3 crystals were treated using VTE or doped with MgO. The changes in crystalline environment of Er 3+ ions due to VTE treatment or doping with Mg 2+ play a key role in these phenomena. 相似文献

Nd3+:CeF3 and Er3+:CeF3 crystals with different doping concentrations were successfully grown by the Bridgman method. The physicochemical parameters, such as crystal structure and phonon vibration energy were obtained by XRD and Raman tests. The results show that rare earth (Nd3+ or Er3+) does not change the hexagonal phase structure of the crystal, and the doping of rare earth ions does not change the maximum phonon frequency. The measured results are 388 and 392 cm??1, respectively, which are similar to CeF3 single crystal and half of common oxide crystal. According to the first principle, the difference charge density of the two crystals can be intuitively obtained. The calculated band gap values of the two crystals are 2.91 and 4.37 eV, respectively, which are similar to the results of absorption spectrum measurement. The NIR luminescence performance of Nd3+:CeF3 crystal was tested by 808 nm pump. When the doping concentration reached 2 at%, the emission intensity was the strongest at 1064 nm (4F3/2→4I11/2). The luminescence properties of Er3+:CeF3 crystal at 1550 nm (4I13/2→4I15/2) were tested by 980 nm pump. The emission intensity keeps the highest when the doping concentration reaches 3 at%. The concentration quenching and the dipole-dipole interaction in crystals are studied using energy transfer theory, and the J-O strength parameters of crystals are calculated. The results show that Nd3+:CeF3 and Er3+:CeF3 crystals have excellent properties and excellent near-infrared luminescence performance, which has great potential in laser applications. 相似文献

In this work, the LaOBr:Er 3+ (0.1%) powders were prepared by solid state reaction. The structural properties of LaOBr:Er 3+ were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The results show that LaOBr:Er 3+ has low phonon energy, which indicate that LaOBr:Er 3+ may have high luminescent efficiency. Under excitation into 4I 11/2 level of Er 3+ ions by 980 nm laser, the two- and three-photon upconverted luminescence of LaOBr:Er 3+ were recorded. The most intense emissions were come from the 2H 11/2, 4S 3/2 → 4I 15/2 transitions. The upconversion mechanisms were studied in detail through laser power dependence, and results show that excited state absorption is responsible for the upconversion. The upconversion properties indicate that LaOBr:Er 3+ may be used in upconversion phosphors. 相似文献

Er 3+-doped fluoroaluminate (AYF) glass was compared with fluorozirconate (ZBLAN) and tetraphosphate (PE) glass as a host material for 1.54-μm emission. Experimental results show that the Er 3+:AYF glass has a smaller concentration quenching and much stronger intensity for the 1.54-μm emission. In high dopant, the 1.54-μm emission is two times stronger in Er 3+/AYF glass than in ZBLAN glass, and 10 times stronger than in PE glass. 相似文献

In this work we report the recent results of our investigation on visible emission properties of the PMMA-based polymer nanocomposites doped with Er 3+:Y 2O 3 nanopowders. The set of active nanopowders, and polymer films, differing in active ions concentration, was characterized with respect of their luminescent properties in the green spectral range, available to a limited extent for semiconductor lasers. In particular – the concentration dependent emission spectra and fluorescence dynamics profiles were measured under direct (single photon) and up-converted excitation, enabling the comparison of luminescent properties of developed nanocomposite materials and original nanopowders, optimization of erbium dopant concentration as well as discussion of excitation mechanisms and analysis of the efficiency of depopulation processes. 相似文献

Data are presented on the 300-K photoluminescence in GaS crystals doped with Er 3+ or codoped with Er 3+ and Yb 3+. IR excitation (λ ex = 976 nm) gives rise to anti-Stokes luminescence in GaS:Er 3+ (0.1 at %) and GaS:Er 3+,Yb 3+ (0.1 + 0.1 at %) and leads to an increased intensity of the emission due to the 4 I 11/2 → 4 I 15/2 transitions. The anti-Stokes luminescence is shown to result from consecutive absorption of two photons by one Er 3+ ion, and the increased intensity of Er 3+ luminescence in GaS: Er 3+,Yb 3+ is due to energy transfer from Yb 3+ to Er 3+. 相似文献
