Abstract

In this study, Ho3+-doped 0.825K0.5Na0.5NbO3-0.175Sr(Yb0.5Nb0.5)O3 luminescence transparent ceramics were prepared via the traditional solid-state sintering method. The structure and optical properties of the ceramics before and after polarization were studied at 40 kV cm−1 for 0.5 h. With the increase of Ho content, the phase structure of the ceramics changed from a pseudo-cubic phase to the tripartite and the orthorhombic phases, and the light transmittance decreased. The ceramics demonstrated an up-conversion luminescence characteristic under the excitation of a 980 nm laser, and the emission wavelengths were 550 and 670 nm. The best up-conversion luminescence performance was obtained when the Ho content was 0.1%. Moreover, the polarization markedly enhanced the luminescence performance of the 0.825K0.5Na0.5NbO3-0.175Sr(Yb0.5Nb0.5)O3-0.1%Ho ceramics due to the increased possibility of energy-level radiative transition of rare-earth Ho3+ ions and reduction of the Eg value of the ceramic.
