Er3+ cross-section spectra of Er3+/Pr3+:Gd3Ga5O12 single-crystal: Pr3+-codoping effect

Fluorescence and absorption spectra at 530 nm (²H_11/2→⁴I_15/2), 560 nm (⁴S_3/2→⁴I_15/2), 660 nm (⁴F_9/2→⁴I_15/2), 980 nm (⁴I_11/2→⁴I_15/2), 1530 nm (⁴I_13/2→⁴I_15/2), and 2710 nm (⁴I_11/2→⁴I_13/2) of Er³⁺ in Gd₃Ga₅O₁₂ single-crystal codoped with Pr³⁺ have been measured. Judd-Ofelt analysis yields the intensity parameters Ω₂ = (0.68 ± 0.03) × 10⁻²⁰ cm², Ω₄ = (0.60 ± 0.07) × 10⁻²⁰ cm², and Ω₆ = (0.90 ± 0.17) × 10⁻²⁰ cm². A comparison with previously reported values of Er³⁺-only doping case shows that Pr³⁺-codoping causes slight change of both Ω₂ and Ω₄, while onefold increase of Ω₆. From calculated radiative rates and measured fluorescence spectra, Er³⁺ emission cross-section spectra were calibrated at first. Then, the absorption cross-section spectra were calculated using McCumber relation. In parallel, the absorption cross-section spectra were also obtained from the measured absorption spectrum, and compared with those obtained from the McCumber relation. The comparison shows that both methods give consistent result of absorption cross-section spectrum. Further comparison with Er³⁺-only doping case shows that Pr³⁺-codoping causes considerable change of Er³⁺ cross-section value. In spectrally mixing regions of Er³⁺ and Pr³⁺, Pr³⁺ emission affects little the determination of Er³⁺ emission cross-section as Pr³⁺ fluorescence is much weaker than Er³⁺ fluorescence due to low Pr³⁺ concentration.

Multifunctional optical thermometry based on the stark sublevels of Er3+ in CaO-Y2O3: Yb3+/Er3+

A conventional high temperature solid state method was utilized to prepare CaO-Y₂O₃, which is a potential candidate for manufacturing crucible material to melt titanium and titanium alloys with low cost. Meanwhile, Yb³⁺ ions and Er³⁺ ions were selected as the sensitizers and activators respectively to dope into CaO-Y₂O₃, aimed at providing real-time optical thermometry during the preparation process of titanium alloys realized using fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technology. The results reveal that a high measurement precision can be acquired by using the Stark sublevels of Er^{3+ 4}F_9/2 to measure the temperature with a maximum absolute error of only about 3 K. In addition, by analyzing the dependence of ⁴I_13/2 → ⁴I_15/2 transition on pump power of 980 nm excitation wavelength, it was found that the laser-induced thermal effect has almost no influence on the temperature measurement conducted by using the FIR of the Stark sublevels of Er^{3+ 4}I_13/2, which means that a high excitation pump power can be used to obtain strong NIR emission and good signal-to-noise ratio for optical thermometry without the influence of the laser-induced thermal effect. All the results reveal that CaO-Y₂O₃: Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ is an excellent temperature sensing material with high measurement precision.     

Abnormal upconversion luminescence induced by defects and Er3+–Yb3+ distance change in Cs3GdGe3O9:Er3+/Yb3+ phosphors

A series of Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ co-doped Cs₃GdGe₃O₉ (CGG) phosphors were prepared by solid-phase sintering method, and the microstructure and upconversion luminescence (UCL) properties were tested by variable-temperature X-ray diffractometry and variable-temperature spectrometer. Abnormal UCL phenomena were found, which include UCL intensity continuously increasing under 980 nm laser continuous irradiation and UCL thermal enhancement. After 10 min of continuous irradiation by 980 nm laser at 513 K, the UCL intensity increased 2.91 times compared with the initial UCL intensity. The phenomenon is due to the electron releasing of host defects. The green UCL intensity of CGG:0.1Er³⁺/0.2Yb³⁺ decreases at 303–423 K and increases at 423–723 K, which reaches 13.23 times compared with that at 423 K. The phenomenon is due to Er³⁺–Yb³⁺ distance change by temperature and phonon-assisted transitions. In addition, the absolute temperature sensitivities of samples are calculated by luminescence intensity ratio technology, the maximum absolute sensitivity of CGG:0.1Er³⁺/0.4Yb³⁺ is 0.00691 K⁻¹ at 546 K, and the maximum relative sensitivity of CGG:0.1Er³⁺/0.1Yb³⁺ is 0.01224 K⁻¹ at 303 K. These results indicate that CGG:Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ phosphors can be used as a high-temperature optical thermometer.

研究了基质玻璃成分对Er^3 掺杂氧氟锗硅酸盐玻璃上转换光谱和Raman光谱的影响,分析了氧氟锗硅酸盐玻璃中Er^3 的上转换发光机理。结果表明：通过975nm的激光二极管激发,在室温下同时观察到强烈的绿光(529,545nm)和红光(657nm)发射,分别是由于Er^3 的。H11/2→^4I15/2,^4S3/2→^4I15/2,和^4F9/2→^4I15/2跃迁,且均为双光子吸收过程。与545nm的绿光发射相比,657nm的红光发光强度比较微弱。随GeO2浓度的增加,基质玻璃的最大声子能量下降,导致无辐射跃迁几率降低,因此绿光和红光的发光强度都增强,但是其对绿光的影响大于红光。
