Abstract

Upconversion emission from ³P₀ level of Pr ³⁺ has been observed on excitation with 496.5 nm line of Ar ⁺ laser when Pr³⁺ and Eu³⁺ are codoped in oxyfluoroborate glass. No fluorescence is observed when only Pr³⁺ is present in the glass but even a small amount of Eu³⁺ leads to this fluorescence (³P₀ → ³H₄, ³P₀ → ³F₂) along with fluorescence from ⁵D₀ level of Eu³⁺. The observed fluorescence of Pr³⁺ has been explained as being due to energy transfer from a pair of Eu³⁺ ions to a pair of Pr³⁺ ions.

N2 - Upconversion emission from 3P0 level of Pr 3+ has been observed on excitation with 496.5 nm line of Ar + laser when Pr3+ and Eu3+ are codoped in oxyfluoroborate glass. No fluorescence is observed when only Pr3+ is present in the glass but even a small amount of Eu3+ leads to this fluorescence (3P0 → 3H4, 3P0 → 3F2) along with fluorescence from 5D0 level of Eu3+. The observed fluorescence of Pr3+ has been explained as being due to energy transfer from a pair of Eu3+ ions to a pair of Pr3+ ions.
