| Title: | Luminous and tunable white-light upconversion for YAG (Yb₃Al₅O₁₂) and (Yb, Y)₂O₃ nanopowders | Authors: | Wang, J Hao, JH Tanner, PA |
Issue Date: | 1-Dec-2010 | Source: | Optics letters, 1 Dec. 2010, v. 35, no. 23, p. 3922-3924 | Abstract: | We report on multiphoton white-light upconversion in vacuum for Pechini synthesis Yb₃Al₅O₁₂ (YbAG) and combustion synthesis (Yb, Y₂)O₃ nanopowders under IR excitation. Their intense white-light upconversion is attributed to charge transfer luminescence superimposed upon a broadband emission. Unlike common nanoscale phosphors, which show low luminescence efficiency, the intensity of white-light upconversion for nanopowders is similar to that of their bulk counterparts. The luminary efficacy of the upconversion is estimated to be 10–15 lm W⁻¹, and the Commission Internationale d’Eclairage (CIE) coordinates can be widely tuned by the excitation power, pressure, and codoping ratio. The nano-YbAG sample exhibits a longer buildup time for emission, a higher excitation threshold, and a wider CIE range than the oxide nanopowders. | Keywords: | Charge transfer Combustion synthesis Ion exchange Luminescence Nanostructured materials Ytterbium |
