Abstract

This paper reports an up-conversion emission in violet (408 nm) from Nd³⁺-doped 93SiO₂:7TiO₂:20AlO_1.5 glasses synthesized by the sol-gel process. Upon excitation at 583 nm (⁴I_9/2→⁴G_5/2), a bright violet up-conversion emission at 408 nm has been observed. The behavior of the up-conversion luminescence has been compared with that of the normal luminescence at both 408 and 1064 nm. The results show that while no concentration quenching for up to 2 mole Nd content is observed for the up-conversion emission, such an effect can be observed for the normal luminescence cases. Although the up-conversion luminescence has a shorter lifetime and weaker intensity, it is of use to the development of sol-gel glass-based waveguide lasers operating at the violet wavelength.
