Abstract

We report on efficient frequency upconversion in Er3+-doped fluoroindate glasses. The process is observed under 1.48 μm laser diode excitation and results in the generation of strong blue (∼407 nm), green (∼550 nm), and red (∼670 nm) radiation. The main mechanism that allows for upconversion appears to be the energy transfer among Er3+ ions in excited states. The results illustrate the large potential of this new class of glasses for photonic applications.
