摘要
Investigations of the optical properties of LaCl3:U3+ (0.1%) Single crystal have revealed an interesting up-conversion phenomenon. When the (4)G(7/2) level of U3+ is excited by an infrared laser set at 748.6 nm, a strong green fluorescence from the K-2(15/2) level is observed. From the analysis of the dynamics of the excited states, we conclude that the observed phenomenon occurs mainly via two mechanisms: (i) excited-state absorption and (ii) an energy transfer up-conversion (ETU) process involving pairs of U3+ ions in (4)G(5/2) and F-4(9/2) states.
