Abstract
Thermally induced threefold infrared-to-visible upconversion emission enhancement in Er3+/Yb3+-codoped Ga2S3:La2O3 chalcogenide glasses excited at 1.064 μm is reported. The times three upconversion efficiency enhancement was achieved by heating the sample in the temperature range of 23–155 °C, and is assigned to the temperature-dependent multiphonon-assisted anti-Stokes sideband excitation process of the ytterbium sensitizer. A theoretical analysis based upon rate equations considering the sensitizer absorption cross section as a function of the phonon occupation number in the host material exhibited very good agreement with experimental data.
