Abstract

We report on studies of the up-conversion process in YLiF4 single crystals co-doped with Er3+ and with Yb3+. Er3+ has a well known complicated energy level system within the 4f shell which gives rise to the up- conversion process. Yb3+ with a broad absorption band int eh regime 940 nm

本文报道了Er3+和Yb3+共掺杂YLiF4单晶的上转换过程。众所周知，Er3+在4f层内具有复杂的能级系统，这导致了上转换过程。Yb3+在eh波段具有较宽的吸收带940 nm
