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.

Oxyhalide lead borate glasses doped with rare earth ions have been studied before and after thermal treatment. The rare earths as optically active ions were limited to the Er3+ ions. Near-infrared luminescence due to the main 4I13/2–4I15/2 laser transition of Er3+ was registered. The introduction of PbX2 to the borate glass results in a reduction of spectral linewidth and an increase of luminescence lifetime of 4I13/2 state of Er3+ ions. The unusual large spectral linewidth for 4I13/2–4I15/2 transition of Er3+ in the oxide glass host was obtained, whereas the luminescence decay from 4I13/2 state is longer for a sample with PbF2 than PbCl2 and PbBr2. Heat treatment introduces transformation from a glass to transparent glass-ceramic (TGC). The coordination sphere around Er3+ ions is changed, giving important contribution to the luminescence characteristics. The spectroscopic consequence of this transformation is the increase of luminescence lifetime and the narrowing of spectral lines of Er3+.

Erbium-doped lead silicate glass has been investigated for near-infrared emission and up-conversion applications. Near-infrared emission due to 4I13/2→4I15/2 transition of Er3+ is relatively broad (70.5 nm) and long-lived (3.7 ms). Also, up-conversion luminescence spectra of Er3+ ions in lead silicate glass have been examined as a function of temperature. The relative intensities of luminescence bands corre-sponding to 2H11/2→4I15/2and4S3/2→4I15/2 transitions of Er3+ were determined with temperature. The fluorescence intensity ratio and temperature sensitivity were calculated. The maximum sensitivity for Er3+ doped lead silicate glass is close to 26.4 × 10−4K−1 at T = 590 K.
