Luminescence in various classes of Er3+-doped inorganic compounds under IR excitation
We have studied the luminescence of various classes of Er 3+ -doped inorganic phosphors under IR excitation. The highest IR Stokes luminescence efficiency in the range 1.5–1.6 μm is offered by Yb 0.99 Er 0.01 PO 4 (xenotime structure). This efficient IR phosphor has been commercialized under the nam...
