The infrared to visible conversion in zinc tellurite glasses (TZG), activated by Er3+ ions and sensitized by Yb3+ ions, has been investigated under 980 nm pulsed laser excitation. The up-conversion mechanism was studied by means of time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy. A model for the dynamics of frequency up-conversion in Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped TZG based on the rate equations was proposed. The dynamics of the up-converted emissions were studied to evaluate energy rates between Er3+ and the Yb3+ ions, and the rate excited state absorption (ESA) in Er3+ ions.
