The paper "Up-conversion luminescence in Er/Yb-doped YF3 thin films deposited by PLI-MOCVD" has been published inJournal of Luminescence

Here  you will find the paper by Jean-Luc Deschanvres

"We have studied the NIR (near infrared) to visible up-conversion of Er/Yb co-doped YF3 thin films prepared by PLI-MOCVD (pulsed liquid injection metal-organic  chemical vapor deposition). Violet, strong green, as well as red emission bands  corresponding to intra-4f transitions in Er3+ were observed under 972 nm excitation. The up-converted emission was studied as a function of the Yb concentration and in doing so, a change in the red/green emission intensity ratio was observed. We attributed this, on one hand, to an Er-to-Yb back transfer corresponding to 4S3/2 → 4I13/2:2F7/2 → 2F5/2, which starts to occur at increasing Yb concentrations. As a consequence, the red emission is shown to be enhanced through an upward energy transfer 4I13/2 → 4F9/2. On the other hand the depopulation of 4S3/2 is also related to an upward transfer from Yb to Er corresponding to transition 2F5/2 → 2F7/2 :4S3/2 → 4G9/2 which is enhanced by an increasing Yb concentration. We performed power-dependent up-conversion luminescence measurements to confirm the proposed excitation mechanisms. Finally, lifetimes of the intermediate states 4S3/2 and 4F9/2 were determined, to show the influence of the Yb concentration on the relaxation processes in Er3+."
