摘要
The intensity of upconversion emissions of rare-earth ions is determined by the maximum phonon energy of glass host. In this paper the intensities of upconversion emissions in Yb3+/Er3+ -codoped germanate-tellurite glasses upon the excitation of 980nm laser diode were extremely enhanced by replacing PbO with Bi-2 O-3 and increasing the size of alkali-metal ions. Raman spectra show that the maximum phonon energies of the glass hosts investigated keep unchanged, while the maximum phonon density decreases on substituting Bi2O3 for PbO and increasing the size of alkali-metal ions. Based on the non-radiative decay rate, it is found that the maximum phonon density is the main reason for the enhancement of upconversion emissions in Yb3+,/ Er3+ codoped germanate-tellurite glasses.
