Abstract
Blue, green and red up-conversion luminescences at around 490, 545 and 650 nm, which result from the , and transitions, respectively, were observed in co-doped -based fluoride glasses under 800 nm excitation. Among these up-conversion luminescences, the green emission was extremely strong and the blue and red emission intensities were very weak. Selectively strong green up-conversion luminescences of these glasses indicate a high possibility for realizing a green up-conversion laser. Up-conversion processes for the blue, green and red emissions are two-photon processes assisted by energy transfer. It is proposed that the up-conversion mechanism for the blue and green emissions is different from that for the red emission. The respective mechanisms are discussed.
