Under 980 nm diode laser excitation, the impact of different concentrations of Ho^3+ ion on the UC luminescence intensity was discussed. The law of luminescence intensity versus pump power shows that the 474 nm blue emission, 538 nm green emission, and 642 nm red emission are all due to the two-photon process, while the 450 nm blue emission is a three-photon process. The UC mechanism and processes were also analyzed. The sample was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The result shows that Ho^3+ ,Tm^3+ , and Yb^3+ co-doped NaYF4 prepared by the hydrothermal method exhibits a hexagonal nanocrystal.展开更多

Their strong up-conversion photoluminescence spectra in a range from ultra-violet to near-infrared, which are excited by a 978-nm laser diode, are measured, and the mechanisms of energy transfer among Yb^3+ Er^3+ and Tm^3+ ions are discussed. The results show that there is an unexpected wavelength at 900-nm emission from Yb^3+ Stark splitting levels to pump Tm^3+ ions and there exists an optimum pump power. The concentration of the Tm^3+ dopant gives rise to a prominent effect on the intensity of visible and near-infrared emissions for the yb^3+:Er^3+:Tm^3+ co-doped borosilicate glasses.展开更多
