Abstract

Phosphor powders of Gd2Zr2O7:Er3+ and Gd2Zr2O7:Er3+, Yb3+ have been prepared by the urea combustion route. Phase evolution of the synthesized powder is determined by X-ray diffraction techniques. Near infrared to visible frequency upconversion in the doped/codoped phosphors upon CW diode laser excitation at ~978 nm have been studied and an enhancement about ~26 and ~93 times in the green and red region observed in the Gd2Zr2O7:Er3+, Yb3+ compared to that of the Gd2Zr2O7:Er3+ phosphor. Based upon the ratio of green to red emission band and fluorescence intensity ratio, energy transfer from the Yb3+ to Er3+ ions has been observed to be a dominant process responsible for this enhancement in the visible region.
