Abstract
Photoluminescence quantum efficiency and energy transfer were studied in ErRE (RE = Y, Yb) silicate thin films. For the first time, we experimentally determined the radiative/non-radiative decay rates of ErYb and ErY silicates and obtained photoluminescence quantum efficiencies of 0.28 ± 0.08 and 0.39 ± 0.13, respectively. Energy transfer between Yb and Er in ErYb silicate was investigated by comparing the effective excitation cross sections of ErYb and ErY silicate. At different pumping wavelengths, forward and backward energy transfer caused by the presence of Yb was experimentally demonstrated.
