A series of RE 3þ (RE ¼ Eu∕Tb∕Ce)-activated Sr 4 LaðPO 4 Þ 3 O (SLPO) phosphors are synthesized with a hightemperature solid-state reaction method. The photoluminescence properties, thermal stability, morphology, and CIE values of the SLPO:Eu 3þ ∕Tb 3þ ∕Ce 3þ phosphors are investigated. Under 394 nm excitation, the SLPO:Eu 3þ exhibits red emission, and the SLPO:Tb 3þ presents a green emission upon 379 nm excitation, while Ce 3þ-doped SLPO has a broad emission band ranging from 370 to 650 nm under 337 nm excitation. The investigation results indicate that the SLPO:Eu 3þ ∕Tb 3þ ∕Ce 3þ phosphors can be effectively excited by nearultraviolet light and may have the potential to serve as red-, green-, and blue-emitting phosphors for applications in white light-emitting diodes.
We theoretically study the controllable optical response in an optomechanical system with membrane-in-the-middle geometry, where the cavity mode is coupled to the square of the position of the membrane. When the optical cavity is driven by a strong control field and the movable membrane is excited by a weak coherent mechanical driving field, the optical response of the system can be detected by applying a weak probe field to the optical cavity. Due to the additional mechanical driving field, more complex interference exists in this optomechanical system. Under the two-phonon resonance condition, the probe transmission can be larger than unity or suppressed to be zero because of the interference effect, which is dependent on the phase difference of the applied fields. We show that the transmission coefficient and group delay of the probe field can be controlled flexibly by the power of the control field, the amplitude and phase of the mechanical driving field, and the environment temperature. Our results provide a flexible route to control light propagation based on the quadratically coupled optomechanical system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
