Abstract With the help of absorption and fluorescence spectra, the spectroscopic properties of Tm3+, Ho3+:YVO4 crystals have been investigated under different dopant concentrations. The absorption results show that the maximum absorption in the spectral range of currently available powerful laser diodes (LD) is at 796 nm, corresponding to the transition 3H6→3H4 of Tm3+ in the crystals. Upon the excitation with a LD at 808 nm, we have detected ten fluorescence bands in the spectral range spanning from visible to infrared. In visible region 4 upconversion bands have been observed centered at 475, 547, 660, and 701 nm. Discussions of the energy transfer processes suggest that cross relaxations and excited absorptions with the involvement of Tm3+3F4, 3H5 and Ho3+7I5 states are responsible for the four upconversion emissions. Comprising the relative integrated intersities of 2 μm (Ho3+: 5I7→5I8) and 1.8 μm (Tm3+: 3F_4→3H6) bands we have observed an efficient energy transfer from Tm3+ (3F4) to Ho3+ (5I7). Examination of the ratios of the intensity of 2 μm band to that of 1.8 μm band as a function of the ratios of Tm3+ concentration (cTm) to Ho3+ concentration (cHo) indicates that small concentration ratios (cTm/cHo) lead to high efficient energy transfers of Tm3+(3F4)→Ho3+(5I7).

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
