The Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters Ωt (t=2, 4, 6) were found to be Ω2=3.27×10-20 cm2, Ω4=1.15×10-20 cm2, and Ω6=0.38×10-20 cm2. The oscillator strength, the spontaneous transition probabilities, the fluorescence branching ratios, and excited state lifetimes were also measured and calculated. The upconversion emission intensity varies with the power of infrared excitation intensity. A plot of log Iup vs log IIR yields a straight line with slope 1.86, 1.88 and 1.85, corresponding to 525, 546, and 657 nm emission bands, respectively, which indicates that a two-photon process for the red and green emission.展开更多

The theoretical study suggests a synchronous propagation of the pump SNSOS and the signal SNSOS under the required initial condition. A π-phase shift of the signal SNSOS is experimentally obtained by changing the power of the pump SNSOS by about 13 mW around the soliton critical power, which agrees qualitatively with our theoretical prediction. The ratio of the phase shift rate of the signal SNSOS to that of the pump SNSOS shows a close match to the reciprocal of the ratio between their wavelengths.展开更多

Binary and ternary glasses resulted from the association of PbI2, Pb-Cl-2, AgI, KCl and KBr. By means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), the mechanism and kinetics of crystallization process were studied. X-ray diffraction studies demonstrate that there is the formation of complicated crystalline phases in crystallized lead iodide based glasses. By heat treating halide glasses of appropriate composition under adequate heating temperature and duration, the lead iodide based glasses could be converted into glass-ceramics with microcrystal size less 1 mu m of which mechanical properties are improved.展开更多

Optically active ions such as Eu^3+, Dy^3+, Tb^3+ and Er^3+ were chosen as dopants. The local structure was verified using X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform inflared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The visible luminescence bands recorded for the studied samples corresponded to ^5D0→^7Fj (J=0÷4) transitions of Eu^3+, ^4F9/2→^6Hj/2 (J=11÷15) transitions of Dy^3+, ^5D3→^7FJ, (J'=1÷6) and ^5Da→^7FJ (J=3÷6) transitions of Tb^3+, and ^4S1/2→^4I15/2 transitions of Er^3+.展开更多

Enhanced near infrared 1.8 μm and visible up-conversion emissions were investigated under 808 and 980 nm excitations, respectively. The energy transfer mechanism between Er^(3+) and Tm^(3+) was analyzed according to the absorption spectra, the emission spectra and the level structures of Er^(3+) and Tm^(3+). The energy transfer efficiency between Er^(3+) and Tm^(3+) reached 68.1% in the Er^(3+)/Tm^(3+) co-doped lead silicate glasses when pumped by 808 nm laser diode. Based on the absorption spectra, the Judd-Ofelt parameters, spontaneous emission probability, absorption and emission cross sections, gain coefficients were calculated and analyzed. It was found that the calculated emission cross section and the maximum gain coefficient around 1.8 μm were 4.9×10^(–21)cm^2 and 1.12 cm^(–1), respectively. These results indicated that the Er^(3+)/Tm^(3+) co-doped lead-silicate glasses had potential application in near infrared lasers.展开更多
