Abstract
The effects of Mn2+ ions on the enhancement red upconversion emission intensity of Mn2+/Tm3+/Yb3+ tri-doped transparent glass-ceramics were investigated. The ratio I698nm/I478nm significantly increases about ten-fold with the increase of Mn2+ concentrations up to 4.0mol.%. The red upconversion emission of Mn2+/Tm3+/Yb3+ tri-doped transparent glass-ceramics is greatly enhanced, due to constitution of the energy transfer bridge. The upconversion mechanism, the energy transfer and back energy transfer processes between the (1G4→3H6), (3F2→3H6) transitions of Tm3+ ions and the ∣2F7/2, 4T1〉→∣2F7/2, 6A1〉 transitions of Mn2+–Yb3+ dimer were discussed.
