摘要
The effects of Er3+ concentration in ZrO2 on the red (680 nm) and green (545 nm) upconversion emission from Er3+ under near infrared radiation (NIR) excitation (at both 1438 and 962 nm) are presented. For the highest Er3+ concentration used, the red band is almost quenched under VIS (489 nm) excitation, whereas it is enhanced under NIR excitation. Such a difference between photoluminescence and upconversion is explained taking into account the concentration dependent cross-relaxation process (H-2(11/2) +I-4(15/2)) --> (I-4(9/2) + I-4(13/2)). Experimental results suggest that two- and three-photon upconversion processes are taking place under 962 nm and 1438 nm excitation, respectively.
