Upconversion dynamics of Er(3+):YAlO3

The dynamics of the green (2H(11/12), 4S(3/2)) and red (4F(9/2)) upconversion emission excited by 15 ns pulses from an Er:fiber laser at 1500 nm are presented and analyzed. The upconversion process is found to fit a kinetic model, which includes both cross relaxation and energy transfer. (Author (re...

Description
Summary:The dynamics of the green (2H(11/12), 4S(3/2)) and red (4F(9/2)) upconversion emission excited by 15 ns pulses from an Er:fiber laser at 1500 nm are presented and analyzed. The upconversion process is found to fit a kinetic model, which includes both cross relaxation and energy transfer. (Author (revised))
