Abstract

Efficient upconversion fluorescence from an Er 3+ center in Ca 3Al 2Ge 3O 12 has been observed, upon pumping with a single red dye laser. The mechanism for the blue upconversion is either a sequential three-photon absorption or an energy transfer process depending on the laser energy being tuned on either the excited state absorption or the ground state absorption transitions. Owing to a double resonant excited state absorption transition character, the three-photon blue upconversion efficiency is relatively high.
