Simultaneous three-photon-excited violet upconversion luminescence of Ce3+:Lu2Si2O7 single crystals by femtosecond laser irradiation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We found that Ce3+:Lu2Si2O7 single crystals could be excited at 800 nm by using a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser. The emission spectra of Ce3+:Lu2Si2O7 crystals were the same for one-photon excitation at 267 nm as for excitation at 800 nm. The emission intensity of Ce3+:Lu2Si2O7 crystals was found to depend on the cube of the laser power at 800 nm, consistent with simultaneous absorption of three 800 nm photons. The measured value of the three-photon absorption cross section is sigma'3=2.44x10(-77) cm6 s2.

Upconversion luminescence from 2E state of Cr3+ in Al2O3 crystal by infrared femtosecond laser irradiation.
Visible upconversion luminescence was observed in Cr3+: Al2O3 crystal under focused femtosecond laser irradiation. The luminescence spectra show that the upconversion luminescence originates from the 2E-4A2 transition of Cr3+. The dependence of the fluorescence intensity of Cr3+ on the pump power reveals that a two-photon absorption process dominates in the conversion of infrared radiation to t...
متن کاملRealization and infrared to green upconversion luminescence in Er:YALO3 ion-implanted optical waveguides
Ion implantation in optical materials is increasingly used in fabrication of optical waveguides of micrometric dimensions. Implantation has been proved to form planar and channel waveguides in YAG single crystals [1, 2]. Planar waveguides are obtained by homogeneous irradiation of the crystal surface with He or H ions at a given energy (in the MeV range), while mask technique has to be used to ...
متن کاملTwo-photon excited highly polarized and directional upconversion emission from slab organic crystals.
Effective upconversion emission from an organic crystal of cyano-substituted oligo (p-phenylenevinylene) (CNDPASDB) based on two-photon absorption is presented. Frequency upconverted cavityless lasing, or amplified spontaneous emission, from the crystal pumped by a femtosecond laser of 800 nm was observed when the excitation energy exceeded the threshold of 1.3 mJpulse(-1)cm(-2). Its polarizati...
متن کاملSecond harmonic generation and two-photon luminescence upconversion in glasses doped with ZnSe nanocrystalline quantum dots
We report two-photon excited emission in borosilicate glasses doped with ZnSe nanocrystalline quantum dots. The emission, predominantly near the two-photon energy and detected in the direction of the excitation beam, is in the visible, and the fundamental excitation is the near-infrared output of a tunable femtosecond laser. Depending on the two-photon energy, timeand frequency-resolved measure...
متن کاملTwo-photon excited fluorescence in the LYB:Eu monoclinic crystal: towards a new scheme of single-beam dual-voxel direct laser writing in crystals.
We report on two-photon excited fluorescence in the oriented Eu(3+)doped LYB monoclinic crystal under femtosecond laser tight focusing. Due to spatial walk-off, the two polarization modes of the incident femtosecond beam simultaneously provide the independent excitation of two distinct focuses, leading to a single-beam dual-voxel nonlinear excitation of fluorescence below material modification ...
