Abstract

Ni2+-Er3+ co-doped glass ceramics containing ZnGa2O4 nanocrystals were fabricated by in situ controlled crystallization method. The adverse energy transfer between Ni2+ and Er3+ could be suppressed in the ZnGa2O4 glass ceramics. And the super-broadband infrared luminescence with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of about 400nm covering 1.1–1.7μm wavelength region was observed in Ni2+-Er3+ co-doped glass ceramics. The two lifetimes of 1NE-GC950 revealed that two luminescence mechanism involved in the luminescence process, Ni2+: 3T2g (3F)→3A2g (3F) and Er3+: 4I13/2→4I15/2 respectively. Compared to that in the Ni2+/Er3+ co-doped glass ceramic containing γ-Ga2O3 and LaF3 nanocrystals, the nanocrystals in the present paper is just only one, ZnGa2O4 nanocrystals, and it could also present super-broadband luminescence.
