Article Preview

Abstract:

Erbium and ytterbium co-doped sodium yttrium fluoride (NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+) was synthesized by combusting in home microwave oven directly. The structure and morphology of the sample was characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and its upconversion luminescence properties were investigated in detail. Under 980nm semiconductor laser excitation, the color of upconversion luminescence of NaYF4:Er3+,Yb3+ was green and red, and its upconversion spectrum exhibited distinct emission peaks at 522, 543 and 652 nm, the emission appears yellow-orange to the naked eye. The law of luminescence intensity versus pump power proved that the intense green emission at 522 and 543 nm were from Er3+ (2H11/24I15/2 and 4S3/24I15/2), and the weaker red emission at 652 nm was from Er3+ (4F9/24I15/2), which belong to the two photon process.
