We have demonstrated that an efficient energy transfer takes place from Yb3+ to Cr4+ in calcium aluminate glasses. Yb3+ improves excitation efficiency at around 980 nm, enhancing emission intensity of Cr4+ fluorescence at 1.2–1.6 μm. Nonradiative energy transfer via electric dipole–dipole interaction between ytterbium and chromium ions was found to be dominant over radiative Yb3+ → Cr4+ energy transfer. A diffusionlimited energy transfer mechanism well explains the decay behavior of Yb3+/Cr4+- codoped glasses. This codoping scheme may be applicable to other Cr4+-containing crystals and glasses.
