In this work we have comprehensively studied the up-conversion (UC) properties of BaMgF:Yb,Tb phosphor for the first time. BaMgF:Yb,Tb phosphors were prepared by a simple and low cost precipitation method. To determine the influence of dopant concentration on luminescence properties, the corresponding UC luminescence spectra of BaMgF:Yb,Tb phosphors were studied under NIR excitation. Emission spectra under NIR excitation reveal the vital role of Tb concentration in spectral tuning from the blue to green region. The UC decay curves were also studied to explore the possible energy transfer (ET) mechanisms between Yb and Tb. The results reported here are expected to provide an approach for better understanding ET mechanisms in many Yb/Tb codoped UC phosphors. This study will be helpful in applications where precisely defined optical transitions is an essential criterion.

Hybrid metal-semiconductor nanostructures unifying plasmonic and high-refractive-index materials in a single resonant system demonstrate a wide set of unique optical properties. Such systems are a perspective for a broad palette of applications, but the link between their inner structure and optical properties is a very sensitive issue, which is still not revealed. Here, we describe the influence of internal microstructure of a hybrid gold-silicon nanoparticle (the gold nanoparticle with embedded silicon nanograins) on the up-conversion white-light photoluminescence.

Er and Er/Yb-doped phosphate-based glasses have been synthesized by melt quenching technique and are characterized by absorption spectra, infrared emission, decay curves, Fourier transform infrared spectrum and up-conversion studies. From the absorption spectra, intensity parameters and radiative properties have been derived utilizing the Judd-Ofelt theory. Er-doped glass is found to have larger radiative lifetime for the laser originating from I level at 1537 nm.

Rare-earth materials are widely used in the optical field due to their rich energy-level structures, and if endowed with photoelectric response characteristics, they are expected to be applied to photoelectric multifunctional devices. In this paper, Ho- and Yb-codoped KNaNbO (KNN) ferroelectric ceramics are synthesized, and the up-conversion and down-conversion luminescence intensity as well as the decay degree after photochromism can be controlled by the content of Yb. Strong green luminescence visible to the naked eye is realized, and the maximum luminescence decay is more than 50%.
