Emission Properties of Yb3+/Er3+ Doped TeO2-WO3-ZnO Glasses for Broadband Optical Amplifiers

The YbS /Er3 doped TeO2-WO3-ZnO glasses were prepared. The absorption spectra, emission spectra and fluorescence lifetime of Era at 1.5μm, excited by 970 nm were measured. The influence of Er2Oa, Yb2Oa and Ohcontents on emission properties of Era at 1.5 μm was investigated. The optimum doping concentrations for Era and Yba is around 3.34× 1020 ions/cma and 6.63×1020 ions/cma, respectively. The peak emission cross section is 0.83～0.87 pm2. With the increasing concentration of Yba , the FWHM of Era emission at 1.5 μm in the glass increases from 77 nm to 83 nm. The results show that Yba /Era doped meO2-Woa-ZnO glasses are promising candidate for Era -doped broadband optical amplifier.     

Emission properties of hydrothermal Yb(3+), Er(3+) and Yb(3+), Tm(3+)-codoped Lu2O3 nanorods: upconversion, cathodoluminescence and assessment of waveguide behavior

Yb(3+) and Ln(3+) (Ln(3+) = Er(3+) or Tm(3+)) codoped Lu(2)O(3) nanorods with cubic Ia3 symmetry have been prepared by low temperature hydrothermal procedures, and their luminescence properties and waveguide behavior analyzed by means of scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). Room temperature upconversion (UC) under excitation at 980 nm and cathodoluminescence (CL) spectra were studied as a function of the Yb(+) concentration in the prepared nanorods. UC spectra revealed the strong development of Er(3+) (4)F(9/2) → (4)I(15/2) (red) and Tm(3+) (1)G(4) → (3)H(6) (blue) bands, which became the pre-eminent and even unique emissions for corresponding nanorods with the higher Yb(3+) concentration. Favored by the presence of large phonons in current nanorods, UC mechanisms that privilege the population of (4)F(9/2) and (1)G(4) emitting levels through phonon-assisted energy transfer and non-radiative relaxations account for these observed UC luminescence features. CL spectra show much more moderate development of the intensity ratio between the Er(3+) (4)F(9/2) → (4)I(15/2) (red) and (2)H(11/2), (4)S(3/2) → (4)I(15/2) (green) emissions with the increase in the Yb(3+) content, while for Yb(3+), Tm(3+)-codoped Lu(2)O(3) nanorods the dominant CL emission is Tm(3+) (1)D(2) → (3)F(4) (deep-blue). Uniform light emission along Yb(3+), Er(3+)-codoped Lu(2)O(3) rods has been observed by using SNOM photoluminescence images; however, the rods seem to be too thin for propagation of light.     

Fabrication and up-conversion luminescence of Er3+:Y2O3 nanoparticles

Y2O3 nanoparticles doped with different concentrations of Er3+ were prepared by the co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy results show that Er3+ dissolves completely in the Y2O3 cubic phase. The Er3+:Y2O3 nanoparticles are homogeneous in size and nearly spherical, and the average diameter of the particles after being calcined at 1,000 degrees C for 2 h is in the range of 40-60 nm. When Er3+:Y2O3 nanoparticles are excited under a 980 nm diode laser, there are two main emission bands: green emission centered at 562 nm corresponding to the 4S3/2/2H11/2 --> 4115/2 radiative transitions and red emission centered at 660 nm corresponding to the 4F9/2 --> 4I15/2 radiative transitions. By changing the doping concentration of Er3+ ions, the up-conversion luminescence can be gradually tuned from green to red.     

Microstructure and environment dependence of 2H11/2 --> 4I15/2 upconversion emission in YVO4:Er3+, Yb3+ nanocrystals

Upconversion emission of different nanocrystalline YVO4:Er3+, Yb3+ synthesized by a hydrothermal process at low temperature was studied under 980 nm excitation where green [(2H11/2, 4S3/2) --> 4I15/2] and red (4F9/2 --> 4I15/2) emissions demonstrate sensitivity to the local environments of Er3+. Small particle size, high Yb3+ concentration, or high temperature favors the emission of the 2H11/2 --> 4I15/2 transition. Both XRD patterns and Raman spectra have confirmed that crystal lattice distortion of YVO4:Er3+, Yb3+ nanocrystals is more serious when the nanoparticle size is decreasing or Yb3+ concentration is increasing. This distortion is thought to play a key role in the observed spectral properties, which might lead to a new route to improve the monochromatic upconversion emission efficiency in these nanocrystals.     

The properties of upconversion luminescence on YAIO3:Er(3+) nanophosphors with different Er(3+) concentrations

We report the properties of upconversion luminescence on Yttrium aluminum perovoskite (YAIO3) doped with trivalent erbium at concentrations of 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 mol%. The samples were synthesized by solvo-thermal reaction method and the XRD patterns conforms that the YAP:Er(3+) nanophosphors have orthorhombic phase. Efficient green and red upconversion (UC) emission of YAP:Er(3+) nanophosphors was measured under the excitation of 975 nm continuous wave diode laser, and its dynamics and pump power dependence were investigated. As concentration of Er(3+) ion increased from 1 to 7 mol%, the red UC emission increased more rapidly. It is attributed to the energy transfer (4I(11/2) --> 4I(15/2):4I(13/2) --> 4F(9/2)) and to the cross relaxation (4S(3/2) --> 4I(9/2):4I(15/2) --> 4I(13/2)) between Er(3+) ions. In this case, the green and red emissions were yielding from quadratic to linear. These conclusions obtained are confirmed by theoretical investigations based on steady-state rate equations.     

Upconversion luminescence properties of YF3:Yb3+, Er3+ nanoclusters

The synthesis, characterization, and spectroscopy of upconverting Yb3+/Er3+ codoped YF3 rod-like nanoclusters are presented. The YF3 nanoclusters were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The clusters structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Under 978 nm laser excitation, stronger blue (4F(5/2) --> 4I(15/2) and 2p(3/2) --> 4I(11/2)) and green (4S(3/2), 2H(11/2) --> 4I(15/2)) upconversion luminescence were observed at 978 nm. The measured intensity of upconversion luminescence was different when pump power changed, which shows that the blue and green upconversion luminescence come from three-photon and two-photon energy transfer processes, respectively.

Structural and luminescence properties of Ho(3+)/Yb(3+)-doped Lu3Ga5O12 nano-garnets for phosphor applications

Lu3Ga5O12 nano-garnet powders doped with Ho(3+)/Yb(3+) ions have been prepared using a citrate sol-gel technique. The structural and morphological properties have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The materials are found to exist in single phase of cubic garnet structure with an average particle size of around 45 nm. The Ho(3+)/Yb(3+)-doped Lu3Ga5O12 nano-garnet powders give rise to an intense green and weak red emission of Ho3+ ions under 457.5 nm direct excitation. Moreover, when the Yb3+ ions are excited at 950 nm a very bright green luminescence of the Ho3+ ions is observed by the naked eyes even for such low laser power as 10 mW and the intensity of the red emission have been increased compared to that found under direct excitation of the Ho3+ ions. The power dependency and dynamics of the infrared-to-visible upconverted luminescence confirm the existence of different two-photon energy transfer processes. All these results have been compared with those obtained for other garnets doped with similar lanthanide ions which suggest that the Lu3Ga5O12 nano-garnets are potential materials for light emitting devices.     

Improved infrared emissions of Er(3+)-Tm3+ co-doped Al2O3 thin films: the role of cross relaxation among rare earth ions

We report the infrared emissions of Er(3+)-Tm3+ co-doped amorphous Al2O3 thin films pumped at 791 nm by a Ti:sapphire laser. The as-deposited films were annealed to improve the photoluminescence performance. Three cross relaxation channels among Er(3+)-Tm3+ and Tm(3+)-Tm3+ ions incorporated in the films were investigated as annealing temperature increases especially from 800 to 850 degrees C. In order to understand the Stark effect and cross relaxations, the photoluminescence spectra were deconvoluted by Gaussian fittings. Our results indicate that the luminescence intensity of 1.62 microm in comparison to 1.5 microm can be enhanced by the cross relaxation process [Er3+ (4I13/2) + Tm3+ (3H6) --> Er3+ (4I15/2) + Tm3+ (3F4)], and the longer-wavelength side of Er3+ emission can be improved by the CR process [Er3+ (4I15/2) + Tm3+ (3H4) --> Er3+ (4I3/2) + Tm3+ (3F4) at expense of the Tm3+ 1.47 microm emission which is also maybe quenched by the CR effect between themselves. These results suggest one possible approach to achieve broadband infrared emissions at the wavelength region of 1.45-1.65 microm from the Er(3+)-Tm3+ co-doped systems.
