Abstract

The effect of Zn ²⁺ ion on the dopant occupancy and optical characteristic of Er ³⁺ ion in Er/Zn-codoped LiNbO ₃ crystal is reported. The intense 1.54 μm and relatively weak green upconversion emissions are observed for Er (1 mol%)/Zn (6 mol%):LiNbO ₃ crystal. The OH ^- absorption and the time-resolved spectra show that the Zn ²⁺ codoping decreases the threshold concentration of Er ³⁺ ion in Er/Zn-codoped LiNbO ₃ crystal. The experimental results here imply that the potential application of Er ³⁺-doped LiNbO ₃ crystal can be designed and optimized on the basis of the theoretical investigations.
