Abstract

Concentration controlled, nanocrystalline Er doped Y2SiO5particles were fabricated. Using 2-level model the cooperative upconversion coefficient was determined. We find that Er-doped YSO has much lower cooperative upconversion than silica, enabling it to achieve population inversion within a reasonable limit.

Theoretical and experimental study of migration-assisted upconversion in high-concentration erbium doped silica fibers

Sergey V. Sergeyev, Dmitry Khoptyar

We report a new experimental and theoretical characterization of high concentration erbium doped silica fibers. Applying a pair-correlation function of erbium ions that is known from x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, we develop a new statistical model of migration-assisted upconversion in erbium doped fibers. We find that the new model provides accurate fitting to our experimental data for the upconversion coefficient as a function of the metastable level population.

Numerical and experimental investigation of upconversion in Er doped sol-gel SiO2

Ayodele Oladeji, Polly Louise Arnold, Mohammad I. Ali +4 more

The upconversion processes in erbium doped sol-gel SiO2are studied. The photoluminescence was measured for selected sol-gel samples and compared with the results of the rate equation model. The results show that the presence of cooperative upconversion processes in erbium doped materials can be easily verified experimentally by measuring the photoluminescence spectrum.

Homogeneous upconversion in Er-doped fibers under steady state excitation: analytical model and its Monte Carlo verification

Dmitry Khoptyar, Sergey V. Sergeyev, B. Jaskorzyńska

We present an extension to our earlier proposed statistical model [Phys. Rev. B 62, 15628 (2002)] for studying migration-assisted homogeneous upconversion in erbium-doped fibers. The extension takes into account minimum proximity distance between erbium ions randomly distributed in the host material and the nonuniformity of the excitation distribution among them. We derive a transcendental equation for the population inversion and find the dependence of the upconversion rate on the population inversion and the pump power for the entire range of feasible Er concentrations. We verify the validity and accuracy of the model by means of time-resolved Monte Carlo simulations.

Theoretical model for nonlinear homogeneous upconversion and clustering in Er 3+ -doped waveguide amplifiers

We model upconversion and migration in an ensemble of inhomogeneously distributed erbium ions. Treating Er- clusters as fractal objects we find the dependence of the upconversion rate on the population inversion for different fractal dimensions.

Upconversion assisted decay of population inversion in Er-doped silica after delta-pulse excitation

Dmitry Khoptyar, Sergey V. Sergeyev, B. Jaskorzyńska

We investigate homogeneous upconversion (HUC) assisted decay of the population inversion in Er-doped silica after delta-pulse excitations by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We derive an analytic expression for this decay when energy migration among Er is negligible and show that it is essentially an extension of the Fo/spl uml/rster-type donor-acceptor quenching decay for the case when donor and acceptor ions are the same species. We compare HUC during the decay to HUC while pumping CW and show that they considerably differ at the low and moderate Er concentrations. Based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, we construct a heuristic approximation to the HUC assisted decay, which makes our MC results readily available for the future experimental and theoretical studies and provides simple means for determination of HUC parameters by fitting to experimental data.
