摘要
Optical spectra of Er-doped modified ZBLAN glasses are studied at room temperature. Radiative quantum yields of the I-4(11/2) and I-4(13/2) levels are estimated from the experimentally measured lifetimes and from the spontaneous emission probabilities calculated from the Judd-Ofelt theory. The spectra of upconversion (UC) luminescence excited with 1.53 mu m cw Er fiber laser are investigated in a wide spectral domain [from the near-infrared (NIR) to UV]. Absolute UC efficiency (i.e., the ratio of UC luminescence power to the absorbed pump power) is experimentally measured; efficiency of up to 12.7% is obtained. A conclusion is made about perspectives of use of the studied glasses as upconverter material for solar cells of enhanced efficiency. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
