Analysis on fluorescence intensity reverse photonic phenomenon between red and green fluorescence of oxyfluoride nanophase vitroceramics

Abstract

An interesting fluorescence intensity reverse photonic phenomenon between red and green fluorescence is investigated. The dynamic range Sigma of intensity reverse between red and green fluorescence of Er(0.5)Yb(3):FOV oxyfluoride nanophase vitroceramics, when excited by 378.5nm and 522.5nm light respectively, is about 4.32x10(2). It is calculated that the phonon-assistant energy transfer rate of the electric multi-dipole interaction of {(4)G(11/2)(Er(3+))?(4)F(9/2)(Er(3+)), (2)F(7/2)(Yb(3+))?(2)F(5/2)(Yb(3+))} energy transfer of Er(0.5)Yb(3):FOV is around 1.380x10(8)s(-1), which is much larger than the relative multiphonon nonradiative relaxation rates 3.20x10(5)s(-1). That energy transfer rate for general material with same rare earth ion's concentration is about 1.194x10(5)s(-1). These are the reason to emerge the unusual intensity reverse phenomenon in Er(0.5)Yb(3):FOV.
