Abstract
Red, green, and blue emission through frequency upconversion and energy-transfer processes in tellurite glasses doped with Tm3+ and Er3+ excited at 1.064μm is investigated. The Tm3+/Er3+-codoped samples produced intense upconversion emission signals at around 480, 530, 550 and 660nm. The 480nm blue emission was originated from the 1G4→3H6 transition of the Tm3+ ions excited by a multiphoton stepwise phonon-assisted excited-state absorption process. The 530, 550nm green and 660nm red upconversion luminescences were identified as originating from the 2H11/2, 4S3/2→4I15/2 and 4F9/2→4I15/2 transitions of the Er3+ ions, respectively, populated via efficient cross-relaxation processes and excited-state absorption. White light generation employing a single infrared excitation source is also examined.
