Enhancing 2.7 µm emission of Er3+ in bismuth germanium glasses by introducing BaF2 in the composition

Crystal growth, luminescence, and scintillation properties of Er-doped La2Hf2O7 single crystal

“…Er 3+ ions in luminescent and scintillator materials have been widely studied in previous reports. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Their emissions, which originate from the 4 I 13/2 -4 I 15/2 be observed in the IR region. If emissions in the IR region can be realized in LHO single crystals with high potential, it is expected to be developed into some devices for applications such as communication and observation using IR light.…”
