Quantum cutting downconversion by cooperative energy transfer from Bi3+ to Yb3+ in Y2O3 phosphor

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/19/7/077804

Abstract Bi³⁺ and Yb³⁺ codoped cubic Y₂O₃ phosphors are prepared by pechini sol—gel method. Strong near-infrared (NIR) emission around 980 nm from Yb^{3 +}(²F^{_{5 / 2}}→²F^{_{7 / 2}}) is observed under ultraviolet light excitation. A broad excitation band ranging from 320 to 360 nm, owing to the 6s² →6s6p transition of Bi^{3 +}ions, is recorded when the Yb^{3 +}emission is monitored, which suggests a very efficient energy transfer from Bi^{3 +}ions to Yb^{3 +}ions. The Yb^{3 +}concentration dependences of both the Bi^{3 +}and the Yb^{3 +}emissions are investigated. The decay curve of Bi^{3 +}emission under the excitation of 355 nm pulse laser is used to explore the Bi^{3 + →}Yb^{3 +}energy transfer process. Cooperative energy transfer (CET) is discussed as a possible mechanism for the near-infrared emission.
