Optical temperature sensing using upconversion fluorescence emission in Er3+/Yb3+-codoped Ga2S3:La2O3 chalcogenide glass excited at 1.06 μm is reported. Temperature measurements in the region of 20–225 °C with a resolution of approximately 0.5 °C using excitation powers of a few tens of milliwatts were obtained. The temperature sensing mechanism is independent of variations in the excitation intensity, possible fluctuations of transmission, and utilizes a simple signal detection and processing system. The results also revealed that the glass host material plays an important role in the performance of the sensing system.

Upconversion fluorescence emission of Er3+/Yb3+-doped Bi2O3–Na2O–Nb2O5–GeO2 heavy metal glass samples excited at 1.06 μm is experimentally investigated. The results reveal the existence of intense emission bands centered around 520, 545, and 655 nm. The germano-niobate based host glass presents high transparency in the region of 400–2700 nm, the capability of incorporating high dopant concentrations, high melting temperature, and large resistance to atmospheric moisture. The observed intensity of the green fluorescence emission, suggested that the niobium based host glass material plays an important role in the efficiency of the upconversion process. Emission lines centered at 425, 483, 503, 608, and 628 nm were also observed.

Thermally induced threefold infrared-to-visible upconversion emission enhancement in Er3+/Yb3+-codoped Ga2S3:La2O3 chalcogenide glasses excited at 1.064 μm is reported. The times three upconversion efficiency enhancement was achieved by heating the sample in the temperature range of 23–155 °C, and is assigned to the temperature-dependent multiphonon-assisted anti-Stokes sideband excitation process of the ytterbium sensitizer. A theoretical analysis based upon rate equations considering the sensitizer absorption cross section as a function of the phonon occupation number in the host material exhibited very good agreement with experimental data.

Optical thermometry through infrared excited upconversion fluorescence emission in Er/sup 3+/- and Er/sup 3+/-Yb/sup 3+/-doped chalcogenide glasses

P. V. dos Santos; M. T. de Araujo; A. S. Gouveia-Neto; J.A.M. Neto; A. S. B. Sombra

Optical thermometry based upon infrared excited upconversion fluorescence emission in Er/sup 3+/- and Er/sup 3+/-Yb/sup 3+/- doped Ga/sub 2/S/sub 3/-La/sub 2/O/sub 3/ chalcogenide glasses excited at 1.54 and 1.06 /spl mu/m, respectively, is presented. Temperature sensing in the region of 20/spl deg/C-220/spl deg/C with 0.3/spl deg/C accuracy using excitation powers readily obtainable from commercially available semiconductor lasers was achieved. The temperature sensing approach is independent of fluctuations in excitation intensity and transmission and requires a simple and low-cost signal detection and processing system. The results also indicate that the glassy host material plays a major role in the performance of the sensing system.

Intense infrared-to-visible upconversion emissions in Tm3+∕Yb3+ codoped water-free low silica calcium aluminosilicate glasses have been obtained under excitation at 976nm. The results showed that as the pump power/intensity is increased, a reduction of up to one order of magnitude at the 800∕480nm emitted intensity ratio is observed; characterizing what can be denominated as luminescent switching. The physical origin of this switching is discussed and explained in terms of the tailoring of luminescent switchers to operate in a large range of pump powers, what could be used in the development of sensors and networks for optical processing and optical communications.

The spectroscopic characteristics of Er3+-doped lead phosphate glasses have been investigated, and Judd?Ofelt analysis was used to evaluate the effect of increasing the Er3+ content on the glass matrices. The intensity-dependent Judd?Ofelt parameters, ?(4) and ?(6), remained constant while ?(2) decreased. The concentration quenching effect on the lifetime of the Er3+?:?4I13/2 ?4 I15/2 (1530?nm) transition is also evaluated as a result of the addition of Er3+ to the lead phosphate glass composition. The observed relatively large reduction in the lifetime reflects the significant effects of non-radiative processes in this system. The potential use of these glasses as photonic devices is also discussed.

Infrared-to-visible upconversion emission enhancement through thermal effects in Yb3+-sensitized Pr3+-doped fluoroindate glasses excited at 1.064 μm is investigated. A twentyfold increase in the 485 nm blue emission intensity as the sample temperature was varied from 20 to 260 °C was observed. The visible upconversion fluorescence enhancement is ascribed to the temperature dependent multiphonon-assisted anti-Stokes excitation of the ytterbium sensitizer and excited-state absorption of the praseodymium acceptor. A model based upon conventional rate equations considering a temperature dependent effective absorption cross section for the 2F7/2→2F5/2 transition of the Yb3+ and 1G4→3P0 excited-state absorption of the Pr3+, agrees very well with the experimental results.

Abstract Upconversion luminescence and thermal effects in Pr 3+ /Yb 3+ - and Er 3+ /Yb 3+ -codoped 60TeO 2 –10GeO 2 –10K 2 O–10Li 2 O–10Nb 2 O 5 tellurite glasses excited by CW infrared radiation at 1.064 μm is reported. Generation of intense green and red fluorescence emission in Er 3+ /Yb 3+ -codoped samples and appreciable upconversion luminescence in the wavelength region of 450–680 nm in Pr 3+ /Yb 3+ -codoped samples is observed. Temperature-induced enhancement of ×12 in the upconversion efficiency in Er 3+ /Yb 3+ - and ×10 in the Pr 3+ /Yb 3+ -doped samples is demonstrated.

Blue cooperative luminescence in Yb3+-doped tellurite glasses excited at 1.064 μm

Blue luminescence emission around 480 nm through cooperative upconversion from pairs of Yb3+ ions implanted into 60TeO2–10GeO2–10K2O–10Li2O–10Nb2O5 tellurite glasses and excited by a cw laser at 1.064 μm is demonstrated. Cooperative luminescence emission enhancement owing to the temperature dependent multiphonon-assisted anti-Stokes excitation process of the ytterbium ions is also observed. The experimental results revealed a fourfold enhancement in the cooperative luminescence emission when the sample was heated in the temperature range of 20 °C–260 °C. The thermally induced enhancement is assigned to the effective absorption cross-section for the ytterbium ions which is an increasing function of the medium temperature.

Color tunability with temperature and pump intensity in Yb3+/Tm3+ codoped aluminosilicate glass under anti-Stokes excitation

Pump and thermally induced color tunabilities were demonstrated in Yb(3+)/Tm(3+) codoped low silica calcium aluminosilicate (LSCAS) glass under anti-Stokes excitation at 1.064 microm. The effects of pump intensity and samples temperature on the upconversion emissions and mainly on the color tunabilities (from 800 to 480 nm) were investigated. The results revealed a 20- and a threefold reductions at 800/480 nm ratio as, respectively, the pump intensity and samples temperature were increased from 27 to 700 kW/cm(2) and from 296 to 577 K. These behaviors with pump intensity and temperature (a strong increase of the 480 nm emission in comparison with the 800 nm one) were attributed to the several efficient processes occurring in the LSCAS system (Yb(3+)-->Tm(3+) energy-transfer processes, easy saturations of the Yb(3+) and Tm(3+) excited states, and radiative emissions). Besides these assigns, the temperature dependence is mainly assigned to the temperature-dependent effective absorption cross section of the ytterbium sensitizer through the so-called multiphonon-assisted anti-Stokes excitation process. Theoretical analyses and fits of the experimental data provided quantitative information.
