Abstract
Up-conversion by Yb3+ sensitization in Er3+ doped YVO4 crystals has been studied under excitation with 976 nm laser diode. Up-converted (available in paper) emission bands are observed at 490, 547, 554, 660 and 670 nm at room temperature, together with down-converted Yb3+ emission at 1010 nm and Er3+ emission at 1470 - 1630 nm. Excited state absorption from the 4I11/2 state of Er3+ to the 4F7/2 state is observed in the Yb3+ emission spectrum. It is confirmed, from quadratic dependence on pump intensity, the up-conversion is induced by two-photon excitation process.
