Abstract

Crystalline ceramic powders of Er3Al5O12 were obtained by low temperature direct combustion synthesis. Irradiating the sample with a low-power continuous-wave infrared (1.48μm) diode laser led to ultraviolet, violet, blue, green, and red (380, 410, 456, 495, 525, 550, and 660nm) emissions. The strong upconversion luminescence appeared to the eyes as an intense green color. The presence of efficient four- and three-photon frequency upconversion processes makes this material an excellent candidate for use in photonic devices based on upconverter phosphors.
