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
