室温下观察了YAG∶Cr^3+,Yb^3+材料在近红外区域的发光特性,并通过对Cr^3+:4T2和Yb^3+:2F5/2能级辐射跃迁寿命以及它们布居时间的比较研究,提出了从Cr^3+到Yb^3+的能量传递机制,同时借助于能级图描述了从Cr^3+到Yb^3+的能量传递以及Cr^3+和Yb^3+的近红外发光过程。
Cr^3+-and Yb^3+-doped YAG powder samples were prepared and the energy transfer ( ET) mechanism in the samples was evaluated by the photoluminescence ( PL) , photoluminescence exci-tation ( PLE) and light-emitting lifetime. By taking advantage of the spin allowed 4 A2→ 4 T2 and 4 A2→ 4 T1 absorption of Cr^3+ and the efficient energy transfer from Cr^3+ to Yb^3+, the broadband spectral conversion makes Yb^3+:2 F5/2→2 F7/2 transition give off a desirable emission around 1 000 nm, which is according to the maximum spectral response of c-Si solar cells, and hence would lead to the enhancement of silicon solar photovoltaic conversion efficiency.
