Abstract

Increasing the efficiency of upconversion luminophores is an important problem in materials science. Here we report on approach of use of disordered crystals namely solid solutions BaY_1.8Lu_0.2F₈ doped with Er³⁺ ions to improve spectral characteristics and efficiency of upconversion from near IR spectral region. It is shown that investigated compound provide up to 9.4% of external energy yield of the up-conversion luminescence at an excitation power density of 6 W/cm2 at 1532 nm for the 10 at.% of Er³⁺ doping. Also the investigated crystals of BaY_1.8Lu_0.2F₈:Er³⁺ allow the control of the CCT parameter in the range of 2384–5149 K by changing the concentration and power density of the excitation. Advantages revealed in this work for crystalline compounds BaY_1.8Lu_0.2F₈:Er³⁺ such as wide absorption bands in the infrared spectral range, a high external energy yield, and a controllable distribution of intensity of luminescence bands makes them prospective to improve the efficiency of double-sided solar cells.
