Abstract

Zn0.3Al0.25Pb0.3Li0.098Yb 0.1Tm0.002F2.354 amorphous fluoride particles were prepared by pulsed laser ablation. Under a 978-nm laser diode excitation, intense ultraviolet and blue upconversion emissions were observed in the particles. Intensity dependence of the upconversion emissions on the pump power was measured. The results show that the population of the states 1I6, 1D2 and 1G 4 may come from a five-photon, four-photon and three-photon energy transfer upconversion process. In addition, ultraviolet (1I 63F4 transition) and blue ( 1D23F4 transition) upconversion stimulated emissions were observed in the particles.
