Highly efficient up-conversion luminescence in Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystals by vertical Bridgman method.


ABSTRACT: Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystals with different concentrations of Yb3+ ions were prepared to investigate their phase structure, up-conversion (UC) properties and mechanism of UC luminescence by Bridgman method. Under 980 nm near-infrared (NIR) excitation, three sharp UC emission bands topping at green ~525 nm, ~548 nm and red ~669 nm were obtained in Er3+/Yb3+ doped Na5Lu9F32 single crystals which are attributing to the transitions of 2H11/2 → 4I15/2, 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 and 4F9/2 → 4I15/2, respectively. The quadratic dependence of pump power on UC emission indicated that two-photon process is in charge of the transition from excited state of Yb3+ ions to lower state of Er3+ ion in Na5Lu9F32 single crystals. The long-accepted mechanism for the production of red and green emissions through up-conversion (UC) under 980 nm excitation in Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped materials apply in the Na5Lu9F32 host was displayed. The enhancement of the red emission was observed due to a cross-relaxation (CR) process of the form: 4F7/2 + 4I11/2 → 4F9/2 + 4F9/2. Furthermore, an ideal yellowish green light performance could be achieved with 1.0 mol% Er3+ doped certain Yb3+ concentrations samples, and its external quantum efficiency approached to 6.80% under 5.5 Wcm-2 980 nm excitation which can be applied in developing UC displays for electro-optical devices.
