The spectroscopic characterization and fluorescence dynamics of Yb3+ in yb3+:LiGd(WO4)2 crystal were investigated. The yb3+:LiGd(WO4)2 crystal exhibits a broad absorption band centered near 975 nm with the linewidths of 16 and 11 nm and maximal absorption cross-section of 3.60 × 10-20 and 2.90× 10-20 cm2 for π- and σ-polarization, respectively. The emission broadband has an FWHM of 47 and 45 nm with the emission cross sections of 3.92 × 10-20 and 3.34× 10-2o cm2 at 1020 nm for re- and or-polarization, respectively. The measured fluorescence lifetime is 398 gs. The blue light emission around 480 nm through cooperative upconversion from the de-excitation of excited Yb3+-Yb3+ pairs at 4 K was observed under 932-nm excitation and demonstrated.展开更多

The room-temperature polarized absorption and emission spectra and the fluorescence decay curve was measured. The parameters of oscillator strengths,the spontaneous transition probabilities,the fluorescence branching ratios,the radiative lifetimes,and the emission cross sections have been investigated based on Judd-Ofelt theory and Füchtbauer-Ladenburg method. The absorption cross-section is 5.19×10^-20 cm^2 at 805 nm for π-polarization and its line width is 15 nm; the emission cross section is 1.726×10^-19 cm^2 at 1060.5 nm for π-polarization.
