Abstract
Er3+ green upconversion (UC) emission corresponding to the transition of 4S3/2(2H11/2) → 4I15/2 is enhanced in a Er/Dy-codoped LiNbO3 crystal compared with Er-doped LiNbO3 under 800 nm femtosecond-laser excitation at room temperature. The upconversion mechanisms are proposed based on spectral, kinetic, and pump-power dependence analyses. The energy-transfer efficiency from Dy3+(4F9/2) to Er 3+(4F7/2) is 33%, which results in the enhancement of green UC emission. This energy transfer is advantageous for the Er3+ UC emission sensitized by Dy3+, especially in a low-phonon-energy host matrix.
