The decay time of BaGeF6 nanowires codoped with rare earths is found in the order of subnanoseconds, being one of the shortest decay time records from inorganic scintillators. Their luminescence emissions are highly sensitive for H2O2 detection.

ABSTRACTRare earth ions can easily be incorporated into fluoride glasses in moderate to large concentrations and, due to their low phonon energy, these glasses appear to have many advantages over oxide glasses as hosts for rare earth ions used in optical amplifiers and lasers. We have therefore investigated the optical properties of Pr3+, Pr3+/Yb3+ and Pr3+/Yb3+/Lu3+ doped bulk AIF3-based glass samples as a function of rare earth ion concentration. We find that the addition of 2 wt% of Yb increases the fluorescence of Pr3+ at 1.32 μm by a factor of 35 when excited with 488 nm radiation. The fluorescence intensity and excited state lifetimes are found to be comparable to those measured for Pr in a ZBLAN host. Since it has also been demonstrated that optical fibers drawn from AIF3-based glasses exhibit relatively low loss (< 0.05 dB/m) and posses superior chemical durability compared to other fluotide glasses, it is possible that AIF3 glasses may become the fluoride glass of choice for practical fiber laser and amplifier applications.

Generally, luminescent properties of rare earth ions doped host can be tuned by controlling the host composition, that is, when substituted for different cations of host, the rare earths ions can present different characteristics.

Radioluminescence optical fibre sensors are gaining importance since these devices are promising in several applications like high energy physics, particle tracking, real-time monitoring of radiation beams, and radioactive waste. Silica optical fibres play an important role thanks to their high radiation hardness. Moreover, rare earths may be incorporated to optimise the scintillation properties (emission spectrum, decay time) according to the particular application. This makes doped silica optical fibres a very versatile tool for the detection of ionizing radiation in many contexts. Among the fields of application of optical fibre sensors, radiation therapy represents a driving force for the research and development of new devices. In this review the recent progresses in the development of rare earth doped silica fibres for dosimetry in the medical field are described. After a general description of advantages and challenges for the use of optical fibre based dosimeter during radiation therapy treatment and diagnostic irradiations, the features of the incorporation of rare earths in the silica matrix in order to prepare radioluminescent optical fibre sensors are presented and discussed. In the last part of this paper, recent results obtained by using cerium, europium, and ytterbium doped silica optical fibres in radiation therapy applications are reviewed.
