Laser induced broad band anti-Stokes white emission from LiYbF4 nanocrystals

Spectroscopic properties of tetragonal LiYbF_4 nanocrystals under high dense NIR excitation at vacuum condition were investigated. White, broad band emission covering whole visible part of the spectrum from LiYbF_4 nanocrystals was observed. Its intensity strongly depended on the excitation power, e...

Summary:Spectroscopic properties of tetragonal LiYbF_4 nanocrystals under high dense NIR excitation at vacuum condition were investigated. White, broad band emission covering whole visible part of the spectrum from LiYbF_4 nanocrystals was observed. Its intensity strongly depended on the excitation power, excitation wavelength and ambient pressure. Temperature of the nanocrystals under 975 nm excitation was determined as a function of excitation power. Strong photo-induced current was observed from LiYbF_4 pallet. The emission kinetic was analyzed. The mechanism of the anti-Stokes white emission was discussed in terms of the laser-induced charge transfer emission from Yb~(2+) states.
