Spectroscopic properties and energy levels of Yb3+ ion in huntite structure

Upconversion luminescence of YAl3(BO3)4:(Yb3+,Tm3+) crystals

“…A comparison of absorption curves of Yb 3+ ion (Fig. 3) obtained at room temperature and at 100 K shows, that higher-energy wing of the excitation spectra falls into the region of pure electronic transitions between components of the crystal field split 7 F 7/2 -7 F 5/2 transition [12], while the low-energy wing falls into the gap between two of these components. Hence, an upconversion process at the low-energy wing must involve a larger number of thermal phonons than that at the higher-energy wing.…”

Magneto-optical spectroscopy of Yb3+ ions in huntite structure

“…Fine structure of YbAl 3 (BO 3 ) 4 absorption spectra at low temperatures was earlier analyzed in detail in Ref. [17].…”

“…We integrated the experimental absorption and MCD spectra within the limits of 9800-10,500 cm À1 , since the spectrum at E410,500 cm À1 is due to electron-vibrational (vibronic) transitions, as shown in Ref. [17]. Temperature dependence of the integral absorption intensity is shown in Fig.…”

Growth and spectroscopic properties of Yb3+-doped BaLaLiWO6 crystal

“…For example, Nd 3+ :KGd(WO 4 ) 2 is an excellent laser material medium [16,17]. Recently, the preparation and spectral properties of Yb 3+ -doped other compounds were also reported, such as YbAl 3 (BO 3 ) 4 , Yb 3+ -doped Ca 4 NdO(BO 3 ) 3 , Yb 3+ -doped M 1 M 2 (PO 4 ) 2 (M 1 = Na, Rb; M 2 = Lu, Y) and so on [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Although the spectral properties of above mentioned materials were reported, it is still necessary to explore new more efficient Yb 3+ -doped laser material.…”
