摘要
ZrO2:Er3+ and ZrO2:Er3+,Yb3+ phosphors were synthesized via a solvothermal reaction method. For low concentrations of Yb3+, the crystalline structure changed from the tetragonal to monoclinic phase as sintering temperature increased. As the Yb3+ concentration increased to a value above 0.05 mol, ZrO2 phosphors displayed a very stable tetragonal phase. The green and red upconversion emissions of ZrO2: Er3+,Yb3+ phosphors were measured under the excitation with a 975nm continuous wave diode laser, and the pump power dependence of upconversion intensity was investigated. As the Yb3+ concentration increased from 0 to 0.05 mol, the red upconversion emission intensity increased more rapidly than the green emission intensity. This is attributed to the energy transfer (I-4(11/2) -> I-4(15/2):I-4(13/2) -> F-4(9/2)) between Er3+ ions and the energy back transfer [S-4(3/2):I-4(13/2)(Er3+) -> F-2(7/2):F-2(5/2)(Yb3+)] between the Er3+ and Yb3+ ions. In this case, the pump power dependence of red emission intensity changed from quadratic to linear as Yb3+ concentration increased. (C) 2013 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
