Abstract

The down-conversion process in Tb ³⁺Yb ³⁺ co-doped Calibo glasses was studied. The emission, excitation and time-resolved measurements indicated the existence of an energy conversion through the excitation of Tb ³⁺ ions to near-infrared emission by Yb ³⁺ ions. The emission intensity dependence on excitation power confirms that the one-photon process is responsible for the Yb ³⁺ emission. An enhanced Yb ³⁺ emission was observed with Yb ³⁺ doping and an optimal energy transfer efficiency of 32% was obtained before reaching near-infrared emission quenching. The mechanism of the non-resonant energy transfer from Tb ³⁺ to Yb ³⁺ is discussed in terms of the Tb ³⁺Yb ³⁺ cross-relaxation and multiphonon decay processes.
