Abstract

Trivalent erbium doped Ba2CaWO6 phosphors were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. Nephelauxetic ratio and bonding parameter were calculated from the absorption spectrum in order to understand the nature of Er3+ ion-ligand bonds in the prepared phosphor samples. The phenomenological Judd-Ofelt (JO) analysis has been implemented to the recorded absorption spectrum of Ba2CaWO6: Er3+ phosphors for evaluating the JO parameters. Under 980 nm laser diode excitation, Ba2CaWO6: Er3+ phosphor exhibits strong green (4S3/2 →4I15/2) and weak red (4F9/2 →4I15/2) upconversion (UC) emissions centered at 566 and 680 nm and an intense downconversion NIR emission at 1.5 μm. The UC process were assessed on the basis of power dependence of upconversion emission intensity. The significant luminescence features observed from the photoluminescence spectra of Ba2CaWO6: Er3+ phosphors that comprise of both up conversion and down conversion luminescence were discussed in detail with the aid of partial energy level diagram. The better values of radiative properties, luminescence features and CIE color coordinates suggest the suitability of Er3+ doped Ba2CaWO6 material for various photonic applications.
