“…With the increasing of x value, the Yb 3+ 980 nm lifetimes gradually decrease and the Er 3+ 1.54‐µm lifetimes gradually increase before x = 0.6 m , which further confirm the ET process from Yb 3+ to Er 3+ . In order to understand the underlying distributions of fluorescence decays, we used the stretch exponential decay function (Kohlrausch function) [
50 ] to fit the TRPL of Er 3+ in Er 3+ / Yb 3+ co‐doped system,
where I 0 is the steady‐state PL intensity and k is the effective PL decay rate. 0 < β < = 1.…”
