The characteristics of upconversion luminescence of CaF2:Er crystalline powders were investigated upon excitation of Er3+ ions to the 4I13/2 level by laser radiation at 1531.8 nm. The energy yield values of upconversion luminescence were determined for the spectral ranges 380–780 and 380–1100 nm. It was found that upconversion luminescence of CaF2:Er powders with concentrations of 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, and 17% of Er3+ ions is characterized by correlated color temperatures of about 5100, 2142, 1726, 1738, 1773, 1757, 1762, 1765, 1735, and 1714 K, respectively.
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.
