Optical Investigations in Er3+/Yb3+ Co-Doped Nanostructured Phosphate Glass Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped transparent phosphate glass ceramics were fabricated and characterized optically. The formation of nanocrystals is confirmed by x-ray diffraction. Stark split near infrared emission peaks of Er3+ have been observed in the glass ceramics, and the effective bandwidth increases with increasing annealing temperature. Upconversion emissions of Er3+ in the glass ceramics under 975nm wavelength excitation, especially in the green wavelength region, are enhanced. The results can be attributed to the enhancement of ligand field due to incorporation of Er3+ ions into the crystal lattices.
