Abstract

Spectroscopic properties of Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ codoped tellurite glasses as a function of Er³⁺ and Yb³⁺ concentration have been investigated. Under 970 nm excitation three strong up-conversion emission bands centred at 525, 546 and 656 nm were observed, and the characteristic near infrared emission band was centred at 1.53 νm. With fluorescence and radiative lifetime the quantum efficiency (QE) of infrared (1.53 νm) and visible upconversion (546 and 660 nm) emissions was calculated. The maximum stimulated emission cross section for ⁴I_13/2 → ⁴I_15/2 transition of Er³⁺ is 9.7 × 10^-21 cm² for 3/0.5 mol%. The energy transfer (ET) efficiency from Yb³⁺ to Er³⁺ (⁴F_5/2) + (⁴I_15/2) → (⁴ F_7/2) + ( ⁴I_13/2) was calculated, being the maximum ET of 69% for 0.5 mol% of Er³⁺ with 4.5 mol% of Yb³⁺. The results indicate that both ET and QE depend mostly on Er³⁺ rather than on Yb³⁺ concentration.
