Abstract

An efficient Nd(3+) -> Yb(3+) energy transfer in a new series of alkali-free barium-alumino-metaphosphate glasses with a transfer efficiency reaching up to 95% has been reported here. It is due to the effective phonon assistance arising with the excellent matching of the present host phonon energy with the energy mismatch between Nd(3+) ((4)F(3/2)) and Yb(3+) ((2)F(5/2)) excited levels. The energy transfer microparameters for Nd(3+) -> Yb(3+) forward and back energy transfers are estimated from the spectral data analysis. A parameter, (Phi)ET (=C(DA)(Nd-Yb)/C(DA)(Nd-Nd)), is proposed as a quantitative measure of sensitization ability per unit loss of the donor. The parameter is found to be highest for the presently reported barium-alumino-metaphosphate glasses. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America
