Comparative Spectroscopic Studies on Luminescence Performance of Er³⁺ Doped Tellurite Glass Embedded with Different Nanoparticles (Ag Co and Fe) at 0.55 μm Emission

Abstract:

The spectroscopic performance of Er³⁺ doped glass at 0.55 mm emission contain different nanoparticles NPs have been comparatively evaluated. Glass containing 1.0 mol % of Er³⁺ doped with different NPs (Ag, Co and Fe ) have been prepared using melt quenching technique. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals the all the prepared samples are amorphous. The UV-Vis absorption spectra of all glasses show several prominent peaks at 525 nm, 660 nm, 801nm, 982 nm and 959 nm due to transition from ground state ⁴I_15/2 to different excited of ²H_11/2, ⁴F_9/2, ⁴I_9/2, ⁴I_11/2, and ⁴I1_3/2. The emission of Er³⁺ at 0.55 mm for glass contain Ag NP shows significant enhancement about 3 folds up to 0.6 mol%. On the other hand, the emission of Er³⁺ at 0.55 mm for glass containing Fe NPs and Co NPs intensely quench probably due to the energy-transfer from Er³⁺ ion to NPs and magnetic contributions.
