Optical parameters of Nd3+:Er3+:Yb3+ co-doped borosilicate glasses and their energy transfers at high temperature

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/20/1/017803

Abstract This paper reports that a series of Nd³⁺:Er³⁺:Yb³⁺ co-doped borosilicate glasses have been prepared and their absorption spectra measured. The J–O intensity parameters Ω_k (k=2, 4, 6), spontaneous radiative lifetime τ_rad, spontaneous transition probability A, fluorescence branching ratio β and oscillator strength f_ed of the Nd³⁺ ions at room temperature are calculated based on Judd–Ofelt (J–O) theory. The temperature dependence of the up-conversion photoluminescence characteristics in a Nd³⁺:Er³⁺:Yb³⁺ co-doped sample is studied under a 978 nm semiconductor laser excitation, and the energy transfer mechanisms among Yb³⁺, Er³⁺ and Nd³⁺ ions are analysed. The results show that the J–O intensity parameters Ω₂ increase when the Nd³⁺ concentration of the Nd³⁺:Er³⁺:Yb³⁺ co-doped borosilicate glasses increases. The possibility of spontaneous transition is small and lifetimes are long at levels of ⁴F_5/2 and ⁴F_3/2. The intensity of Nd³⁺ emissions at 595, 691, 753, 813 and 887 nm are markedly enhanced when the sample temperature exceeds 400 K. The reasons being the cooperation of the secondary sensitization from Er³⁺ to Nd³⁺ and the contribution of a multi-phonon.
