采用提拉法生长了双掺Yb3+和Er3+离子浓度分别为18.63%和0.87%(原子分数)的Sr3Y2(BO3)4晶体.利用测量的偏振吸收谱结合Judd-Ofeh理论,拟合得到了该晶体中Er3+离子的偏振和有效J-O参数.测量了Er3+离子4I13/2能级和Yb3+离子2F5/2能级的荧光衰减曲线,并计算了4I13/2能级的荧光量子效率和Yb3+到Er3+的能量传递效率.利用Fuchtbauer-Ladenberg公式计算了Er3+离子4I13/2→4I15/2跃迁的偏振受激发射截面.在平-凹谐振腔中,利用97nm波长光纤耦合准连续半导体激光端面泵浦1.12mm厚的该晶体,当输出镜透过率为1.5%时,获得了最大输出功率为1.3 w和斜率效率为20%的1560 nm附近的激光输出.结果表明,Er3+/Yb3+:Sr3+Y2+(BO3)4晶体是一种优良的1.5～1.6 μm波段激光的增益介质.

Fluorescence Quantum Efficiency Enhancement in CaWO4:Eu3+,Na+ Nanocrystals by Tridoping with F- Ions

We demonstrated that tridoping with F- ions is an effective way to improve the fluorescence quantum efficiency of CaWO4:Eu3+,Na+ nanocrystals. F--tridoped samples with different F- concentrations were synthesized by a hydrothermal process. The fluorescence spectra and decay curves were measured at room temperature. The fluorescence intensity of F--tridoped samples is about 3 times that for the non F--doped sample. The fluorescence quantum efficiency can be enhanced by 21% when the atomic ratio of F to W was 0.7.
