ABSTRACT

Multicomposition of Er3+-Yb3+ codoped tellurite oxide, TeO2-ZnO-PbO-TiO2-Na2O glass has been investigated. A detailed spectroscopic study of the Judd-Ofelt analysis has been performed from the measured absorption spectrum in order to obtain the intensity parameters Ωt (t=2, 4, 6). The calculated Ωt values were then utilized in the determination of transition probabilities, radiative lifetimes and branching ratios of the Er3+ transitions between the J(upper)-J’(lower) manifolds. Both visible upconversion and near-infrared spectra were characterized under the 980 nm laser diode excitation at room temperature.

 

Keywords: Judd-Ofelt analysis; tellurite oxide glas; upconversion

 

ABSTRAK

Kaca telurit teroksida pelbagai kandungan TeO2-ZnO-PbO-TiO2-Na2O terdop Er3+-Yb3+ telah dikaji. Penyelidikan terperinci terhadap spektroskopi melalui analisis Judd-Ofelt telah dilakukan hasil daripada cerapan spektrum penyerapan untuk mendapatkan pemboleh ubah keamatan Ωt (t=2, 4, 6). Hasil pengiraan nilai Ωt telah digunakan dalam penentuan kebarangkalian peralihan, tempoh hayat sinaran dan nisbah cabangan peralihan Er3+ di antara jaluran J(atas)-J’(bawah). Spektra bagi anjakan-atas cahaya nampak dan infra-merah dekat telah dicirikan melalui pengujaan laser diod 980 nm pada suhu bilik.

 

Kata kunci: Analisis Judd-Ofelt; anjakan-atas; kaca telurit teroksida
