Up-Conversion Photoluminescence and Optical Thermometry Properties of Novel Silicate K3(Y0.88Yb0.10Ho0.02)Si2O7 Phosphor

Abstract

Abstract: In this work, a new type of silicate K₃(Y_0.88Yb_0.10Ho_0.02)Si₂O₇ phosphor was synthesized by solid state method. The up-conversion photoluminescence and optical thermometry properties of samples were systematically studied. The results show that K₃(Y_0.88Yb_0.10Ho_0.02)Si₂O₇ phosphor exhibits red emission under 980 nm excitation. The main emission peak is located at 665 nm, which is attributed to the ⁵F₅→⁵I₈ transition of Ho³⁺. The up-conversion mechanism of the phosphor and the photon reaction which may lead to up-conversion were studied by logarithmic transformation of the luminescence intensity and excitation power. It is proved that the up-conversion luminescence process for the (⁵S₄,⁵F₂)→⁵I₈ transition is a three-photon mechanism, and the ⁵F₅→⁵I₈ transition is a two-photon mechanism. The fluorescence intensity ratio of the ⁵F₅/(⁵F₄,⁵S₂) non-thermal coupling energy level of K₃(Y_0.88Yb_0.10Ho_0.02)Si₂O₇ phosphor shows its good optical thermometry potential, and the maximum sensitivity is calculated to be about 0.17 K^-1 (423 K).

Key words: up-conversion, silicate, optical thermometry, rare earth luminescence, photoluminescence, solid state method
