摘要
Er3+ and Yb3+ codoped Y2O3 and (Y0.9La0.1)(2)O-3 transparent ceramics were fabricated by the conventional ceramics processing with nanopowders. Compared to Er/Yb:Y2O3, Er/Yb:(Y0.9La0.1)(2)O-3 ceramics had higher transmittance. Intense upconversion (UC) and infrared emission (1543 nm) were observed under excitation of 980 nm. According to three intensity parameters Omega(2), Omega(4), and Omega(6) fitted by the Judd-Ofelt theory, the spectroscopic quality parameters (X), radiative lifetimes (tau(rad)) and emission cross-sections (alpha(em)) were determined. Er/Yb:(Y0.9La0.1)(2)O-3 ceramics owned broader peaks and longer lifetime (12.3 ms) at 1548 nm due to the glass-like structure of (Y0.9La0.1)(2)O-3 ceramics. The results showed Y2O3 and Y1.8La0.2O3 transparent ceramics are promising gain media for developing the solid-state 1.51 mu m optical amplifiers and tunable UC lasers.(C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
