摘要
Visible quantum cutting under excitations at 212 and 172 nm in a green-emitting phosphor K2GdF5:Tb3+ (11%) via a downconversion mechanism is investigated. The authors measured the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation and emission spectra and proposed mechanisms to rationalize the quantum-cutting effect. One short-UV or one VUV photon absorbed by Tb3+ is split into multiple visible photons emitted by Tb3+ through cross relaxation and direct energy transfer. Calculations indicate an optimal quantum efficiency as great as 189% for this phosphor. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
