Cooperative energy transfer in Tm3+and Yb3+ co-doped phosphate glasses

An efficient near-infrared (NIR) quantum cutting (QC) in Tm3+ and Yb3+ co-doped phosphate glasses was demonstrated, which involved the emission of two NIR photons from an absorbed visible photon via a cooperative energy transfer (CET) from Tm3+ to Yb3+ ions. Judd-Ofelt (J-O) theory was used to calcu...

Description
Summary:An efficient near-infrared (NIR) quantum cutting (QC) in Tm3+ and Yb3+ co-doped phosphate glasses was demonstrated, which involved the emission of two NIR photons from an absorbed visible photon via a cooperative energy transfer (CET) from Tm3+ to Yb3+ ions. Judd-Ofelt (J-O) theory was used to calculate the intensity parameters ( 2 , 4 , 6 ), the radiative transition rates (Ar ), and radiative transition lifetime (τ rad ) of Tm3+ . Based on Inokuti-Hirayama's model, the energy transfer processes were studied and results indicated that the energy transfer of the electric dipole-dipole (Edd) was dominant in this system. Quantum efficiency related to Yb 3+ concentration was calculated, and the maximum QE efficiency reached 169.8%.
