AbstractThe regression analysis of the rise kinetics of up-conversion luminescence of the LiY_0.8Yb_0.2F_4:Tm^3+ (0.2 at %) crystal is performed. The kinetics curve is obtained with rectangular pulsed excitation by radiation from a laser diode (IR LD) with a wavelength of λ_ p = 933 nm. The most important—in these experimental conditions—mechanisms of the energy transfer from Yb^3+ ions to Tm^3+ ions are established, which are responsible for the transitions between the ground ^3 H _6 and excited ^3 F _4, ^3 H _4, ^1 G _4, ^1 D _2, and ^1 I _6 terms of the Tm^3+ ions. The durations of the relevant energy transfer processes are determined. It is shown that the energy transfer between rare earth ions in the LiY_0.8Yb_0.2F_4:Tm^3+ (0.2 at %) crystal occurs through the dipole–dipole interactions.

The development of efficient luminescent systems, such as microcavities, solid state lasers, integrated optical amplifiers, optical sensors is the main topic in glass photonics. The building blocks of these systems are glass-ceramics activated by rare earth ions because they exhibit specific morphologic, structural and spectroscopic properties. Among various materials that could be used as nanocrystals to be imbedded in silica matrix, tin dioxide presents some interesting peculiarities, e.g. the presence of tin dioxide nanocrystals allows increase in both solubility and emission of rare earth ions. Here, we focus our attention on Er3+ - doped silica – tin dioxide photonic glass-ceramics fabricated by sol-gel route. Although the SiO2-SnO2:Er3+ could be fabricated in different geometrical systems: thin films, monoliths and planar waveguides we herein limit ourselves to the monoliths. The effective role of tin dioxide as luminescence sensitizer for Er3+ ions is confirmed by spectroscopic measurements and detailed fabrication protocols are discussed.
