DIRECT UPCONVERSION SENSITIZATION LUMINESCENCE OF Ho(0.1)Yb(5):OXYFLUORIDE VITROCERAMICS

This paper studies the upconversion luminescence phenomenon of the Ho,Yb co-doped oxyfluoride vitroceramics. There is one group of strong upconversion luminescence lines positioned at 536.5nm, 18639cm^-1; 540.5nm, 18501cm^-1; 544.0nm, 18399cm^-1, which is easily identified as the transitions of ⁵S₂→⁵I₈. There are other splendid upconversion luminescence lines, which are ⁵S₂→⁵I₇,⁵F₅→⁵I₈,⁵G₆→⁵I₈, (⁵G³G)₅ →⁵I₈,(³F³H⁵G)₄→⁵I₇,⁵G₄→⁵I₈ and (⁵G³H)₅→⁵I₈. It is also found that an interesting kind of upconversion cooperative radiation fluorescence comes from a kind of coupling state of clusters consisting of two Yb³⁺ ions.
