Abstract
Er3+ and/or Yb3+ doped Sr2ScF7 up-conversion (UC) phosphors were synthesized, and the optimum doping concentrations of Yb3+ and Er3+ in the Sr2ScF7 host were found to be 20% mol and 7% mol, respectively. Under excitation of 980nm laser, the UC spectra of the samples is composed of three green emission bands from 510 to 570nm centered at 525, 543 and 551nm and two red emission band from 640 to 690nm with two peaks at 657 and 671nm, which is attributed to the 2H11/2, 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 and 4F9/2 → 4I15/2 transitions of Er3+, respectively. The UC emission color of Er3+ can be tuned by adjusting the intensity ratio of red to green emission through manipulating the population of red and green emitting states.
