摘要
We show that Ce3+ can be an efficient sensitizer for Yb3+ in the host lattice of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG). With blue-light excitation to induce the 4f --> 5d transition of Ce3+, characteristic near-IR emission of Yb3+ due to transition of F-2(5/2) --> F-2(7/2) peaking at 1030 nm is generated as a result of energy transfer from Ce3+ to Yb3+. The result of spectral evolution with temperature indicates that the efficiency of energy transfer is enhanced owing to thermal effect. This evidence implies that the phonon-assisted process participates in the downconversion of YAG:Ce3+, Yb3+. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
