摘 要: 研究了808nm和977nm激光二极管泵浦下铥/镱共掺TeO3~Ga2O3-BaO-ZnO玻璃光谱特性并讨论了Tm^3+离子浓度对上转换光谱的影响。在977nm激光二极管泵浦下,观测到Tm^3+/Yb^3+共掺碲镓酸盐玻璃强476nm上转换蓝色(^1G4→^3H6)和较弱的650nm上转换红色(^1G4→^3F4和^3F2.3→^3H6)荧光。分析表明476nm蓝光辐射为三光子吸收过程.650nm红光为双光子和三光子混合吸收过程;在808nm激光二极管泵浦下,上转换蓝色荧光为双光子吸收过程。实验发现.随Tm^3+离子掺杂浓度的增加,Tm^3+离子的上转换荧光强度也随之增加,当Tm2O3掺杂浓度超过0.2mol%时,荧光强度开始下降,出现明显荧光猝灭现象;当Tm^3+为0.3mol%时,蓝光对红光的强度比为8倍。 This paper reports on upconversion properties of Tm^3+/Yb^3+ co-doped TeO2-Ga2O3-BaO-ZnO glasses under excitation of 977 nm and 808 nm laser diodes (LD) and effects of Tm^3+ concentration on the upconversion emission have been also discussed. An intense upconversion emission centered at 476 nm (blue) along with a weak emission at 650 nm (red) has been observed upon excitation of 977 nm LD, assigned to the transitions of ^1G4→^3H6 and ^1G4→^3F4 and/or ^3F2.3→^3H6 of Tm^3+ , respectively. The 476 nm upconversion intensify has a cubelike dependence on incident pump laser power, indicating a three-photon process. However, a quadratic dependence of the 476 um upconversion intensity on the incident pump laser power has been observed when samples under excitation of 808 nm LD, due to two-photon absorption process. It is noticed that concentration quenching of Tm^3+ to upconversion fluorescence is observed when the content of Tm^3+ is about 0.2 mol%. The ratio of blue and red luminescence intensities reaches the peak value 8 while Tm^3+ is 0.3 mol%. As a result, Tm^3+/Yb^3+ co-doped TGBZ glasses might be a potential candidate for developing solid-state compact blue-emitting lasers.
