“…9(a) shows large number of peaks at 381, 490, 523, 548 and 671 nm and they are attributed to 2 I 15/2 / 4 G 11/2 , 4 F 5/2 , 2 H 11/2 , 4 S 3/2 and 4 F 9/2 transitions of Er 3+ ion, respectively. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The gure also shows a broad band centered at 976 nm due to 2 F 7/2 / 2 F 5/2 transition of Yb 3+ ion. 15 When the Bi 3+ ion is added in the phosphor the spectrum contains additional bands in the 220-340 nm region due to Bi 3+ ion (see Fig.…”
