Abstract

Recently, we observed ultraviolet luminescence in CaF2:Yb ³⁺ under the excitation of a 980 nm laser. In this paper, cooperative transition theory of three identical lanthanide ions is built through perturbed wave functions of a three-body system with electric multipole interactions. The theoretical results show that d-dd-dq and crystal field effected d-dd-dfd are the main mechanisms in the triple transition processes. The transition rate ratio of Yb3+-dimers and Yb ³⁺ -trimers in an Yb ³⁺ -hexamer is calculated to be 1.86 × 104. This is in reasonable agreement with the experimentally obtained cooperative luminescence intensity ratio of 2.0 × 104 in CaF2:Yb3+ under the excitation of a 980 nm laser.
