Abstract
White upconversion emission was observed in Er3+/Yb3+/Tm3+:LiTaO3 polycrystals prepared by solid-state reaction method. The structural properties of Er3+/Yb3+/Tm3+:LiTaO3 polycrystals were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The color coordinate of (0.33, 0.33) in 1mol% Er3+/20mol% Yb3+/1mol% Tm3+:LiTaO3 polycrystal was found to be equal to the standard point of energy white-light. The blue emission was populated via the cooperative sensitization upconversion process, and efficient two-photon green upconversion and one-photon red upconversion emissions were observed. The increased green upconversion emission was attributed to the fast cross relaxation process of 3H4 (Tm)+4I13/2 (Er)→3H6 (Tm)+4S3/2 (Er). The gained excellent optical quality of white upconversion emission suggested that Er3+/Yb3+/Tm3+:LiTaO3 polycrystal will be a potential laser candidate material for the application of the three-dimensional backlighting.
