Abstract

We report near-infrared to ultraviolet (UV) upconversion emissions in triply-doped Gd3+-Tm3+-Yb3+ fluoride-phosphate glasses. Emission at 310 nm, originated from the Gd3+:P-6(7/2) -> S-8(7/2) transition, was observed for the first time in glasses. The high-purity glasses prepared exhibit extended transparency in the UV down to 200-250 nm. The mixed fluoride-phosphate environment of the rare-earth ions was characterized by means of NMR techniques using scandium as a diamagnetic mimic for the luminescent species, for which the ligand distribution was quantified by Sc-45[P-31] rotational echo double resonance NMR. Both the intensity of the Gd3+ emission as well as those of the UV emissions at 290, 347, and 363 nm increase with increasing ratio of fluoride to phosphate ligands coordinating to the rare-earth ion.
