Abstract The concentration dependence of energy transfer from Cr3+ to Nd3+ at the 4T1 level excitation in Nd/Cr:YAG was investigated by the fluorescence decay curves of Cr3+ and Nd3+ for Nd/Cr:YAG and Cr:YAG ceramic powders in the Cr3+ concentration range of 0.1 to 6.0 mol%. The energy transfer process between Cr3+ and Nd3+ at the 4T1 level excitation is tried to explain using a rate equation that assumes energy transfer from the 2E–4T2 level to Nd3+ on the basis of dipole–dipole interactions, the same as the 4T2 level excitation. In conclusion, the energy excited to the 4T1 level will relax non-radiatively to the 2E–4T2 level and then transfer to Nd3+. It is presumed there will be no direct transfer from the 4T1 level to Nd3+. Our rate equations will be useful when simultaneously exciting the 4T1 and 4T2 levels of Cr3+ in Nd/Cr:YAG using broadband pumping sources.

AbstractPhotoluminescence (PL) of SiO2 films co-doped with Si nanocrystals (nc-Si) and Er was studied. The average size of nc-Si was changed in a wide range in order to tune the exciton energy of nc-Si to the energy separations between the discrete electronic states of Er3+. PL from exciton recombination in nc-Si and the intra-4f shell transition of Er3+ were observed simultaneously. At low temperatures, periodic features were observed in the PL spectrum of nc-Si. The period agreed well with the optical phonon energy of Si. The appearance of the phonon structures implies that nc-Si which satisfy the energy conservation rule during the energy transfer process can resonantly excite Er3+. The effects of the quantum confinement of excitons in nc-Si on the energy transfer process are discussed.
