研究了提拉法生长的Er^3+/Yb^3+:Gd3Sc2Ga3O12和Er^3+:Gd3Sc2Ga3O12晶体在室温下320—1700nm范围的吸收光谱和500-750nm范围内的上转换荧光谱,同时对其上转换荧光的可能发生机制、途径以及上转换过程可能对Er^3+的2.8μm波段激光振荡产生的影响进行了分析和讨论.结果表明:Yb^3+的敏化显著地增强了晶体在966nm附近的吸收能力,大幅度加宽了晶体在该处的吸收带宽.在940nm激光的激发下,Er^3+/Yb^3+:Gd3Sc2Ga3O12中的上转换荧光强度明显强于Er^3+:Gd3Sc2Ga3O12中的上转换荧光强度,表明Yb^3+与Er^3+之间存在高效率的能量传递,其主要上转换机制可能为Yb^3+-Er^3+,Er^3+-Er^3+能量传递.
Er^3 +/Yb^3 + : Gd3 Sc2 Ga3 O12 and Er^3 + : Gd3 Sc2 Ga3 O12 crystals have been grown by Czochralski method. The absorption spectra from 320 to 1700 nm and the up-conversion flttoreseence spectra from 500 to 750 nm of them were investigated at room temperature, respeetively. The possible up-eonversion lumineseenee mechanisms in Er^3+/Yb^3+ -eodoped crystals and their influences on the 2.8μm laser emission were discussed. Experimental results show that the absorption of Er^3 + :Gd3 Sc2Ga3 O12 around 966 nm and its bandwidth are remarkably increased by Yb^3 + sensitizing. Under 940 nm excitation, the up-conversion luminescence intensity of Er^3+/Yb^3+ :Gd3Sc2Ga3O12 is much stronger than that of Er^3+ :Gd3Se2Ga3O12. It demonstrates that there exist effective energy transfer processes between Yb^3 + and Er^3 + , and the dominant mechanism of up-conversion may be the energy transfer processes of Yb^3 + -Er^3 + and Er^+ -Er^3 + .
