Near Infrared Emission

The visible and near infrared emission spectra of Er3+/Tm3+-doped Ga2O3-Bi2O3-PbO-GeO2(GBPG) glasses excited at 808 nm are experimentally investigated. The results reveal that 1.53 µm emission were enhanced with an increase of Er3+concentration. Furthermore, the incorporation of Er3+into Tm3+-doped systems has also resulted in intense 522, 545 and 693nm upconversion emission intensity and an weak 660 nm red emission. The possible mechanism and related discussions on this phenomenon have been presented. The results show that Er3+/Tm3+-codoped GBPG glass may be a promising materials for developing laser and fiber optical devices.

In order to investigate the effect of Ce3+ concentration on the emission properties of Er3+/Yb3+ codoped NaYF4 nanocrystals, Ce3+/Er3+/Yb3+ tri-doped NaYF4 nanocrystals were prepared through a facile EDTA-assisted hydrothermal method. The upconversion (UC) and the near infrared (NIR) emission properties of Er3+ ions were systematically investigated in the NaYF4:Ce3+/Er3+/Yb3+ nanocrystals. Under 980 nm excitation, with the increasing of Ce3+ concentration, the emission intensity of Er3+ at 1550 nm (4I13/2 → 4I15/2) band increases initially and then decreases. The increase of the fluorescence intensity of 1550 nm is due to the energy transfer between Er3+ and Ce3+ ions: Er3+:4I11/2 +Ce3+:2F5/2 → Er3+:4I13/2 +Ce3+:2F7/2. But when Ce3+ doping concentration is 2.0%, the cross relaxation:Er3+:4I13/2 +Ce3+:2F5/2 →Er3+:4I15/2 +Ce3+:2F7/2 happens, which depopulates the 4I13/2 level of Er3+ and results in the decrease of the emission intensity of Er3+ at 1550 nm band. Meanwhile, incorporation of Ce3+ dramatically decreases the visible UC emission intensity. A possible emission mechanism was proposed.

Near Infrared Emission

In this article, we report on enhanced broadband near-infrared emission in Yb–Bi codoped phosphate glasses. The emission intensity of Yb–Bi codoped glass was ˜32 times larger than that of Bi-doped glass when excited with 980-nm laser diode. The highest 1/e fluorescent lifetime of Yb–Bi codoped glass reached 1650 μs. The dependence of emission intensity and fluorescent lifetime on Yb2O3 concentration was investigated. The enhancement of the near-infrared emission is due to energy transfer from Yb3+ (2F5/2–2F7/2) transition to Bi ions, and the highest energy transfer efficiency reached 50%. Yb–Bi codoped phosphate glass should be a promising candidate for broadband optical amplification.

Upconversion Emissions

Transparent glass-ceramic composites embedded with Ln-fluoride nanocrystals are prepared in this work to enhance the upconversion luminescence of Tm3+. The crystalline phases, microstructures, and photoluminescence properties of samples are carefully investigated. KYb3F10 nanocrystals are proved to controllably precipitate in the glass-ceramics via the inducing of Yb3+ when the doping concentration varies from 0.5 to 1.5 mol%. Pure near-infrared upconversion emissions are observed and the emission intensities are enhanced in the glass-ceramics as compared to in the precursor glass due to the incorporation of Tm3+ into the KYb3F10 crystal structures via substitutions for Yb3+. Furthermore, KYb2F7 crystals are also nano-crystallized in the glass-ceramics when the Yb3+ concentration exceeds 2.0 mol%. The upconversion emission intensity of Tm3+ is further enhanced by seven times as Tm3+ enters the lattice sites of pure KYb2F7 nanocrystals. The designed glass ceramics provide efficient gain materials for optical applications in the biological transmission window. Moreover, the controllable nano-crystallization strategy induced by Yb3+ opens a new way for engineering a wide range of functional nanomaterials with effective incorporation of Ln3+ ions into fluoride crystal structures.

In this work, we investigate Ce3+ to Yb3+ energy transfer in Y4Al2O9 (YAM) for potential application in solar spectrum down-converting layers for photovoltaic devices. Photoluminescence properties set, of 10 samples, of the YAM host activated with Ce3+ and Yb3+ with varying concentrations are presented, and the Ce3+ to Yb3+ energy transfer is proven. Measurement of highly non-exponential luminescence decays of Ce3+ 5d band allowed for the calculation of maximal theoretical quantum efficiency, of the expected down-conversion process, equal to 123%. Measurements of Yb3+ emission intensity, in the function of excitation power, confirmed the predominantly single-photon downshifting character of Ce3+ to Yb3+ energy transfer. Favorable location of the Ce3+ 5d bands in YAM makes this system a great candidate for down-converting, and down-shifting, luminescent layers for photovoltaics.

Looking for upconverting biocompatible nanoparticles, we have prepared by the sol–gel method, silica–calcia glass nanopowders doped with different concentration of Tm3+ and Yb3+ ions (Tm3+ from 0.15 mol% up to 0.5 mol% and Yb3+ from 1 mol% up to 4 mol%) and characterized their structure, morphology, and optical properties. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated an amorphous phase of the silica-based glass with partial crystallization of samples with a higher content of lanthanides ions. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that the average size of particles decreased with increasing lanthanides content. The upconversion (UC) emission spectra and fluorescence lifetimes were registered under near infrared excitation (980 nm) at room temperature to study the energy transfer between Yb3+ and Tm3+ at various active ions concentrations. Characteristic emission bands of Tm3+ ions in the range of 350 nm to 850 nm were observed. To understand the mechanism of Yb3+–Tm3+ UC energy transfer in the SiO2–CaO powders, the kinetics of luminescence decays were studied.
