Upconversion luminescence properties of Yb3+/Ho3+/Tm3+ tri-doped LiTaO3 polycrystals

摘要: 采用高温固相合成法制备了多组Yb3+/Ho3+/Tm3+不同物质的量分数掺杂的LiTaO3多晶材料,测试了双掺Yb3+/Ho3+,Yb3+/Tm3+和三掺Yb3+/Ho3+/Tm3+的LiTaO3多晶的X射线衍射图谱、紫外-可见吸收谱和上转换荧光发射谱。X射线衍射(XRD)结果显示,稀土离子掺杂没有改变LiTaO3多晶的物质结构,这表明稀土离子以取代基质离子的方式进入了晶格中。样品的紫外吸收边显示,增加Ho3+或Tm3+物质的量分数会导致吸收边先红移再蓝移。在980 nm泵浦光激发下,可见光区域中出现上转换蓝光(475 nm)、绿光(545 nm)和红光(663 nm和650 nm)发射,通过改变LiTaO3中的激活离子Ho3+-Tm3+物质的量分数,可对上转换荧光色度进行调节,物质的量分数配比为2.0%Yb3+/0.05%Ho3+/0.4%Tm3+的掺杂LiTaO3多晶材料实现了最为接近标准白光的发射。

Abstract: The Yb3+/Ho3+/Tm3+-doped LiTaO3 polycrystalline materials at various doping mole fractions were prepared using a high-temperature solid-state synthesis method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, ultraviolet-visible absorption (UV-Vis) spectra, and upconversion fluorescence emission spectra of Yb3+/Ho3+ -doped, Yb3+/Tm3+-doped, and Yb3+/Ho3+/Tm3+-doped LiTaO3 samples were tested. The XRD results indicate that the doped rare earth ions have not altered the crystal structure of LiTaO3, suggesting that the rare earth ions entered the lattice by replacing the host ions. The UV absorption edge of the samples shows a redshift followed by a blueshift with increasing mole fractions of Ho3+ or Tm3+. Under excitation from a 980 nm pump source, upconversion blue light (475 nm), green light (545 nm), and red light (663 nm and 650 nm) were observed in the visible region. The upconversion fluorescence chromaticity can be tailored by varying the mole fractions of Ho3+/Tm3+ in LiTaO3. Among the samples, the mole fractions 2.0%Yb3+/0.05%Ho3+/0.4%Tm3+ doped LiTaO3 polycrystalline specimen exhibits the excellent upconversion output near the standard white light. -
