Abstract

Up-conversion can be the main mechanism of energy losses in laser glasses with high concentration of erbium ions. This investigation is devoted to the evaluation of up-conversion parameters in several phosphate and silicate Er-doped glasses. Analysis of the luminescent lifetime shortening at high excitation level has shown that the up-conversion parameters in different glasses can differ by an order of magnitude. The smallest up-conversion was observed in Ba crown silicate glass and Li–Ln-phosphate glass.
