Laser polarization and phase control of up-conversion fluorescence in rare-earth ions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate the up-conversion fluorescence control via resonance-mediated two-photon absorption in rare-earth ions by varying both the laser polarization and phase. We show that both the laser polarization and phase can control the up-conversion fluorescence, and the up-conversion fluorescence intensity is decreased when the laser polarization changes from linear through elliptical to circular. We also show that the laser polarization will affect the control efficiency of the up-conversion fluorescence by varying the laser phase, and the circular polarization will reduce the control efficiency. Furthermore, we suggest that the control efficiency by varying the laser polarization and the effect of the laser polarization on the control efficiency by varying the laser phase can be artificially manipulated by controlling the laser spectral bandwidth. This optical control method opens a new opportunity to control the up-conversion fluorescence of rare-earth ions, which may have significant impact on the related applications of rare-earth ions.

Silver nanowires as receiving-radiating nanoantennas in plasmon-enhanced up-conversion processes.
We demonstrate efficient coupling between plasmons in a single silver nanowire and nanocrystals doped with rare earth ions, α-NaYF4:Er(3+)/Yb(3+). Plasmonic interaction results in a sevenfold increase of the up-converted emission of nanocrystals located in the vicinity of the nanowires as well as much faster luminescence decays. The enhancement of the emission can be precisely controlled by the...

Rare earth-doped glasses are of great interest for their optical and fluorescence properties. However, phononmediated non-radiative transitions are a major obstacle to their use and the quantum efficiencies are sensitive to the environment of the rare earth ion. Recently, complex glasses containing fluorides have been developed in which fluoride crystallites can be made to form with a high solu...
