Abstract:
When the quality of Er2O3 is 10 times the former, the authors found that its character of up-conversion luminescence is distinct. Then the authors studied the luminescence system of Es3+ /Tm3+, Er3+ /Er3+ and Er3+ /Yb3+ /Tm3+ and their character of upconversion and fluorescence spectrum at 980 nm. In addition, the authors studied the relation between the three systems and the consistency of Er2O3. The authors found that the intensity of green and red light changed with the consistence of Er3+ in the experiment. It's the consistence of Er3+ that is the most causative. The chance is equal for each lanthanonion that makes up the luminescence system in the uniformity matter. With the distance between each pair of lanthanonions in the luminescence system is changed, the luminescence system and the color of the up-conversion luminescence also changed.
