Abstract

An interesting fluorescence intensity reverse photonic phenomenon between red and green fluorescence is investigated. The dynamic range ∑ of intensity reverse between red and green fluorescence of Er(0.5)Yb(3):FOV oxyfluoride nanophase vitroceramics, when excited by 378.5nm and 522.5nm light respectively, is about 4.32×102. It is calculated that the phonon-assistant energy transfer rate of the electric multi-dipole interaction of {4G11/2(Er3+)→4F9/2(Er3+), 2F7/2(Yb3+)→2F5/2(Yb3+)} energy transfer of Er(0.5)Yb(3):FOV is around 1.380×108s-1, which is much larger than the relative multiphonon nonradiative relaxation rates 3.20×105s-1. That energy transfer rate for general material with same rare earth ion’s concentration is about 1.194×105s-1. These are the reason to emerge the unusual intensity reverse phenomenon in Er(0.5)Yb(3):FOV.
