Abstract:

Er3+∶Yb3+∶Tm3+ co-doped borosilicate glasses were prepared by high-temperature scorching under solid phase. The temperature characteristics of the photoluminescence spectra were measured in the range of 300—573 K under pumping by a 978 nm semiconductor laser, and spectra splitting of green and red up-conversion emissions at room temperature were discussed. The mechanisms of the energy transfer among Er3+, Yb3+ and Tm3+ ions were analyzed. The results show that photoluminescence intensities of the samples at 480, 517, 534 and 657 nm descend monotonously with the increasing temperature, almost disappear at 490 K. However, the photoluminescence intensity of the near infrared at about 900 nm stronger and stronger when sample temperature increases, and peak wavelength shift to the short-wavelength direction. The photoluminescence spectra take on marked splitting at room temperature, but the splitting become weaker at high temperature.
