Upconversion Luminescence Study of Er³⁺inGadolinium-Calcium- Silicoborate Glasses

Abstract:

The new glass series were prepared in compositions 25Gd₂O₃-10CaO-10SiO₂-(55-x) B₂O₃-xEr₂O₃ (where x is 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 mol %) by normal melt-quenching technique at the melting temperature of 1,400 °C. The optical spectra were measured and shown absorption bands were assigned to appropriate f-f electronic transitions of Er³⁺ ions from the ⁴I_15/2 ground state to the following excited states: ⁴G_11/2, ²H_9/2, ⁴F_5/2, ⁴F_7/2, ²H_11/2, ⁴S_3/2, ⁴F_9/2, ⁴I_9/2 and ⁴I_11/2. Single peak from upconversion luminescence was observed at 531 nm (green) is assigned to the ²H_11/2⁴I_15/2.In this work, the strongest peak at 2.0 % mol of Er₂O₃ was observed. In this work, suggests that the Er³⁺ion in gadolinium calcium silicoborate glasses possibly considered as a potential candidate for applications in upconversion-based optical devices.
