Abstract

AbstractUV‐charged optical stimulated single‐band phosphors are being used for single‐level optical data storage because of their ability to easily write/read information by light. In contrast, UV–visible–NIR rechargeable optical stimulated double‐band phosphor is urgently necessary for multiplexed high‐throughput optical data storage. Here, the authors design and synthesize Mn2+,Cr3+ co‐doped zinc gallate storage persistent phosphor that exhibits strong red‐green bicolor persistent luminescence (PersL). Besides the traditional ultraviolet charging, the phosphor can be effectively and repeatedly charged by using visible and NIR light by one‐ or two‐photon process. Interestingly, red and green PersL exhibit the opposite temperature dependence, which is extremely important for multilevel information storage. The mechanism of temperature‐dependent PersL intensity based on different trap types and filling approaches for the double luminescence centers is proposed. The phosphor promises a sophisticated application in optical data storage of wavelength multiplexing.
