摘要

Measurements of the optical properties of Er<sup>3+sup> ions in strontium barium niobate glass and glass ceramics have been carried out. The glasses have been fabricated using a melt-quenching method, and the glass ceramic samples have been obtained from the glass precursor by a thermal treatment. The ceramic samples formed by a glassy phase, and a crystalline phase contains nanocrystals of Sr<sub>1−sub><sub>xsub>Ba<sub>xsub>Nb<sub>2sub>O<sub>6sub> (SBN) doped with Er<sup>3+sup> ions with a mean size of src="http://www.sciencedirect.com/scidirimg/entities/223c.gif" alt="not, vert, similar" title="not, vert, similar" border="0">50 nm, as confirmed with XRD. Green up-conversion emission has been obtained under excitation at 800 nm, and the temporal evolution of this emission has been reported with the purpose of determining the involved up-conversion mechanism. These optical measures have confirmed that the Er<sup>3+sup> ions have been incorporated into the SBN matrix, after a thermal treatment, which produced an increment of the up-conversion efficiency.
