Abstract

The paper presents energy transfer in tellurite glass from the system TeO₂ - GeO₂ - PbO - PbF₂- BaO - Nb₂O₅ - LaF3 doped with Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺ ions. Under the excitation of 976 nm laser a strong blue emission (477 nm) corresponding to the transition ¹G₄ → ³H₆ in thulium ions was observed. Analysing the influence of the content of Tm3+ ions on the level of luminescence obtained by the mechanism of upconversion it was established that the most effective energy transfer between Yb ³⁺→ Tm³⁺ ions took place in the matrix doped in the following proportion: 1 Yb³⁺:0.1 Tm³⁺ (%mol). Based on the non-resonant process of energy transfer between Yb³⁺ and Tm³⁺ ions the mechanism of upconversion was discussed.
