Published: November 2007

The green up-conversion emissions centered at the wavelengths of about 534nmand 549nm of the Er doped silicate glass were recorded, using a 978 nm semiconductorlaser diode (LD) as an excitation source. The fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of the greenup-conversion emissions at about 534nm and 549nm in the Er doped silicate glass wasstudied as a function of temperature over the temperature range of 296K-673K. Themaximum sensitivity and the temperature resolution derived from the FIR of the green up-conversion emissions are approximately 0.0023K and 0.8K, respectively. It isdemonstrated that the prototype optical temperature sensor based on the FIR technique fromthe green up-conversion emissions in the Er doped silicate glass could play a major role intemperature measurement.

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.

College of Materials Science and Engineering, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610064, China.

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%.

New luminescent nanoparticles with adjustable emission properties were synthesized via a hydrothermal method to investigate the effect of Ce concentration on the tuneable emission properties of Yb/Ho co-doped gadolinium borates. The synthesized samples' comprehensive structural and morphological analysis was conducted utilizing X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. To obtain highly crystalline nanoparticles GdBO:Yb/Ho/Ce characterized by intense and bright emission, they were annealed at 525 °C and 925 °C.
