Abstract

In this work we report the study of energy transfer between Nd³⁺ and Yb³⁺ ions in glasses with the 0.8CaSiO₃-0.2Ca₃(PO₄)₂ eutectic composition at room temperature by using steady-state and time-resolved laser spectroscopy. The Nd³⁺→Yb³⁺ transfer efficiency obtained from the Nd³⁺ lifetimes in the single doped and codoped samples reaches 73% for the highest Nd³⁺ concentration. The donor decay curves obtained under pulsed excitation have been used to establish the multipolar nature of the Nd³⁺→ Yb³⁺ transfer process and the energy transfer microparameter. The nonradiative energy transfer is consistent with an electric dipole-dipole interaction mechanism assisted by energy migration among donors. Back transfer from Yb³⁺ to Nd³⁺ is also observed.
