Spectroscopic properties of Pr3+ and Er3+ ions in lead-free borate glasses modified by BaF2

Lead-free oxyfluoride borate glasses singly doped with Pr³⁺ and Er³⁺ were prepared and next investigated using absorption and luminescence spectroscopy. In the studied glass system, barium oxide was substituted by BaF₂. Two luminescence bands of Pr³⁺ located at visible spectral region are observed, which correspond to ³P₀–³H₄ (blue) and ¹D₂–³H₄ (reddish orange) transitions, respectively. The luminescence bands due to ¹D₂–³H₄ transition of Pr³⁺ are shifted to shorter wavelengths, when BaO was substituted by BaF₂. Near-infrared luminescence spectra of Er³⁺ ions in lead-free borate glasses modified by BaF₂ correspond to ⁴I_13/2–⁴I_15/2 transition. Their spectral linewidths increase with increasing BaF₂ concentration. The changes in measured lifetimes of rare earth ions are well correlated with the bonding parameters calculated from the optical absorption spectra.     

Spectral characterizations of Nd3+:KLa(WO4)2 crystal

The absorption and emission of Nd³⁺:KLa(WO₄)₂ crystal were investigated. The uniaxial crystal Nd³⁺:KLa(WO₄)₂ shows strong polarization dependence. The intensity of the absorption bands in E//c is about four times than that in E//a. The absorption cross section σ_a is 22.6 × 10^–20 cm² for E//c. The emission cross section at 1.069 μm is 2.09 × 10^–19 cm². The fluorescence lifetime is 157 μs at 300 K. The relationship of Nd³⁺ concentrations with fluorescence intensity and lifetime was discussed. The results show the ca 3 at % Nd³⁺ concentration in Nd³⁺:KLa(WO₄)₂ crystal is appropriate.

Spectroscopic properties of HoAl3(BO3)4 single crystal

The Judd–Ofelt theory has been applied to analyze absorption spectra of Ho³⁺ ion in HoAl₃(BO₃)₄ measured in spectral range 300–700 nm at room temperature. The Judd–Ofelt spectroscopic parameters have been determined as: Ω₂ = 18.87 × 10⁻²⁰ cm², Ω₄ = 17.04 × 10⁻²⁰ cm², Ω₆ = 9.21 × 10⁻²⁰ cm². These parameters have been used to calculate radiative lifetimes and branching ratios of the luminescence manifolds. Three luminescent bands were found in the spectral range 450–700 nm ascribed to transitions from the ⁵F₅, (⁵F₄, ⁵S₂) and ³K₈ states to the ground state ⁵I₈. Experimental intensities of these luminescence transitions were compared with those calculated by using Judd–Ofelt theory and the system of kinetic equations for populations of starting luminescing states. Probabilities of radiativeless transitions were evaluated from this comparison.     

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.

Spectroscopic properties of Yb3+-doped PbWO4 single crystal

Yb³⁺-doped PbWO₄ single crystal was grown using modified vertical Bridgman method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, optical absorption spectra, X-ray excited luminescence (XEL), fluorescence of ²F_5/2→²F_7/2 and its lifetime at room temperature were investigated. PWO:Yb³⁺ shows the broad absorption of Yb³⁺ (850–1050 nm) and efficient emission (950–1100 nm). Annealing exerts a distinct influence on the PWO:Yb³⁺ crystal, e.g. disappearance of color and annihilation of the absorption in the region around 450–750 nm, meanwhile the absorption of Yb³⁺ ions was enhanced by the annealing treatment. A novel luminescence band on the X-ray excited luminescence spectra of PWO:Yb³⁺ centered at about 500 nm was observed overlapped on that of PWO host.     

Spectroscopic and laser characterization of Yb,Tm:KLu(WO4)2 crystal

We report on a comprehensive spectroscopic and laser characterization of monoclinic Yb,Tm:KLu(WO₄)₂ crystals. Stimulated-emission cross-section spectra corresponding to the ³F₄ → ³H₆ transition of Tm³⁺ ions are determined. The radiative lifetime of the ³F₄ state of Tm³⁺ ions is 0.82 ms. The maximum Yb³⁺ → Tm³⁺ energy transfer efficiency is 83.9% for 5 at.% Yb – 8 at.% Tm doping. The fractional heat loading for Yb,Tm:KLu(WO₄)₂ is 0.45 ± 0.05. Using a hemispherical cavity and 5 at.% Yb – 6 at.% Tm doped crystal, a maximum CW power of 227 mW is achieved at 1.983–2.011 μm with a maximum slope efficiency η = 14%. In the microchip laser set-up, the highest slope efficiency is 20% for a 5 at.% Yb– 8 at.% Tm doped crystal with a maximum output power of 201 mW at 1.99–2.007 μm. Operation of Yb,Tm:KLu(WO₄)₂ as a vibronic laser emitting at 2.081–2.093 μm is also demonstrated.     

Synthesis and luminescence properties of Yb3+, Tm3+ and Ho3+ co-doped SrGd2(WO4)2(MoO4)2 nano-crystal

Novel up-conversion luminescent SrGd₂(WO₄)₂(MoO₄)₂: Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺/Ho³⁺ nano-crystals were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The composition ratio of rare earth had been investigated. It indicated that when C_Yb³⁺ = 10 mol% and C_Yb³⁺/C_Tm³⁺/C_Ho³⁺ = 10:1.5:2, the emission intensities were the highest. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and up-conversion luminescence spectra were used to characterize SrGd₂(WO₄)₂(MoO₄)₂: Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺/Ho³⁺ nano-crystals and they showed that the sample had high degree of crystallinity, the sample was tetragonal system, and the grain size of the sample was about 56 nm. Three emission peaks, including blue emission peak, green emission peak and red emission peak were observed at 477, 543 and 651 nm corresponding to ¹G₄ → ³H₆ and ¹G₄ → ³F₄ transitions of Tm³⁺, ⁵F₄ → ⁵I₈ and ⁵F₅ → ⁵I₈ transitions of Ho³⁺ respectively. All the emission peaks were observed by excitation of 980 nm semiconductor laser. The relationship between up-conversion intensity and excitation power revealed that blue emission at 477 nm was a three-photon absorption process, green emission at 543 nm and red emission at 651 nm was a two-photon absorption process. The quantum yields of the sample were near 3.2%.

Luminescent properties of EuGa2S4:Er3+

We have studied the thermo-and photoluminescence of undoped and Er³⁺-doped EuGa₂S₄ crystals in the temperature range 77–450 K. In thermoluminescence studies, different heating rates and excitation intensities have been used. The results demonstrate that, with increasing heating rate, the intensity of thermoluminescence peaks grows, and the peaks shift to higher temperatures. EuGa₂S₄:Er³⁺ crystals exhibit both Stokes and anti-Stokes luminescence. The mechanisms of these processes are analyzed.     

EPR properties of KY(WO4)2 single crystals weakly doped with Er,Yb and Nd

Well oriented KY(WO₄)₂ single crystal weakly doped simultaneously with Er, Yb and Nd have been investigated using EPR technique. Angular dependencies of the EPR lines clearly confirm C₂ symmetry of all: Er³⁺, Yb³⁺ and Nd³⁺ dopants. Basic parameters of the spin Hamiltonian, including Zeeman and hyperfine terms (g and A matrices) as well the spatial orientation between principal axes system and crystallographic axes system were determined.     

Polarization effects in a KGd(WO4)2:Nd crystal

Data are presented that demonstrate that, when a laser beam polarized at 45° to the vertical (horizontal) is passed through plane-parallel plates cut from a Nd-doped (4%) potassium gadolinium tungstate crystal and placed between crossed polarizers, the intensity and polarization of the transmitted light are periodic functions of the angle of incidence of the light. When scanned in two mutually perpendicular directions, the plates exhibit highly anisotropic transmission. The polarization at the intensity minima and maxima at the analyzer output is not orthogonal, in contrast to uniaxial crystals.     

Synthesis and two-color emission properties of BaGd2(MoO4)4:Eu3+,Er3+,Yb3+ phosphors

Eu³⁺, Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺ co-doped BaGd₂(MoO₄)₄ two-color emission phosphor was synthesized by the high temperature solid-state method. The structure of the sample was characterized by XRD, and its luminescence properties were investigated in detail. Under the excitation of 395 nm ultraviolet light, the BaGd₂(MoO₄)₄:Eu³⁺,Er³⁺,Yb³⁺ phosphor emitted an intense red light at 595 and 614 nm, which can be attributed to ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₁ and ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂ transitions of Eu³⁺, respectively. The phosphor will also show bright green light under 980 nm infrared light excitation. The green emission peaks centred at 529 and 552 nm, were attributed to ⁴H_11/2 → ⁴I_15/2 and ⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_15/2 transitions of Er³⁺, respectively. It indicated that the two-color emission can be achieved from the same BaGd₂(MoO₄)₄:Eu³⁺,Er³⁺,Yb³⁺ host system based on the different pumping source, 395 nm UV light and 980 nm infrared light, respectively. The obtained results showed that this kind of phosphor may be potential in the field of multi-color fluorescence imaging and anti-counterfeiting.     

Magnetic Ordering of Dy3+ Ions in RbDy(WO4)2 Single Crystal

The specific heat C(T) of the monoclinic RbDy(WO ₄ ) ₂ crystal has been studied at very low temperatures 0.2T1.9 K and in magnetic fields 0H0.38 T. The Neel temperature was shown to be equal to T_N = 0.818 ± 0.005 K. The experimental value of the effective exchange parameter was obtained to be equal to J/k = – 0.798 K. The C T) dependence below Neel temperature 0.5T_N0.99T_N ) is well described by 2D Ising model, whereas in the temperature region close above T_N (1.01 T_N2T_N) it can be described by neither 2D, nor 3D Ising model. The experimental and theoretical H-T_N diagrams for field H a are in a reasonable agreement for simple quadratic lattice.
