通过溶胶–凝胶法制备xZnO–(100–x)SiO2(x=0,5,10,20,摩尔分数)玻璃,研究ZnO含量对Dy3+发光强度的影响,并且研究Dy3+在紫外光和飞秒激光激发下的发光特性。结果表明:当ZnO摩尔(下同)含量为0、5%和10%,Dy3+的发光强度几乎不变,当ZnO含量达到20%时,Dy3+的发光强度显著增强,归因于基质微结构的明显改变。研究了飞秒激光激发时,Dy3+在ZnO–SiO2玻璃中的上转换发光特性。在飞秒激光(800nm)激发下,观察到强Dy3+的上转换发光。Dy3+的发光强度与泵浦光强度的依赖关系表明:上转换发光过程为双光子机制为主,根据Dy3+的能级,Dy3+在SiO2和ZnO–SiO2玻璃中的上转换发光的机制归因于激发态吸收。
Glasses with the composition of xZnO–(100–x)SiO2 (x=0,5,10,20,mole ratio,the same below) were prepared by the sol–gel method. Effect of ZnO content on the luminescent intensity of Dy3+ was studied. Moreover,the luminescent properties of Dy3+ in ZnO–SiO2 glasses were investigated under the ultraviolet light and femtosecond (fs) laser (800 nm) excitation. The results indicate that the luminescent intensity of Dy3+ hardly changes as ZnO content is 0,5% and 10%. When ZnO content increases to 20%,the luminescent intensity of Dy3+ remarkably enhances,which can be attributed to the great changes of the host microstructures. The upconversion luminescence (UCL) properties of Dy3+ in ZnO–SiO2 glasses were studied. Strong UCL of Dy3+ in SiO2 and ZnO–SiO2 glasses was observed at fs laser excitation. The photoluminescent intensity of Dy3+ as the fs laser pump power indicates that the two-photon absorption dominates the upconversion luminescence. According to the energy level analysis of Dy3+,the UCL mecha-nism of Dy3+ in both SiO2 and ZnO–SiO2 glasses is attributed to excited state absorption.
