Full-color simulation in a multi-doped glass and controlled quenching of luminescence using Er(III) as a suppressor for a tunable device

We have developed a multi-doped glassy material (CaF2-B2O3-Sb2O3) to generate and control the primary light colors, allowing the simulation of any color of light by additive synthesis, Tm(III), Tb(III) and Eu(III) ions were used (0.01-5.0 mol%) as blue, green and red narrow line emitters, A wide color gamut was obtained under ultraviolet excitation by changing the material composition, The chromaticity diagram is covered, including the white simulation. We have proposed a mechanism to control the chromaticity of a fixed composition of the material, using the Er(III) ion (0.05-3.0 mol%) as a quencher which may be deactivated by infrared excitation, The first results using Er(III) in our white emitter glass are presented.
