Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have identified general relationships between the spectral and kinetic properties of the IR Stokes luminescence bands of Y1 − x − y Nd x Pr y PO4 solid solutions in the spectral range 0.86–1.40 μm under 0.810-μm laser excitation. The results have been used to formulate technical requirements for the purity of rare-earth oxides for the fabrication of efficient YPO4:Nd3+ IR phosphors and to develop a fast YPO4:Nd3+, Pr3+ IR phosphor that allows the decay time of the Nd3+ IR Stokes luminescence bands in the range 0.86–1.40 μm to be tuned from 50 to 170 μs by varying the ratio of the Nd3+ and Pr3+ concentrations.
