Abstract

The NaY(WO4)2:Tm3+,Yb3+ (NYW:Tm3+,Yb3+) and NaY(WO4)2:Tm3+,Er3+,Yb3+ (NYW:Tm3+,Er3+,Yb3+) powders have been synthesized by the high-temperature solid-state method. The structural and optical properties of the samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, and fluorescence spectroscopy measurements. XRD analysis indicates that the phase structure of the matrix is not changed after rare-earth ion doping and high purity of NYW-phase can be obtained at the 800 °C. Raman spectrum shows that the existence of WOW mono oxygen bridges and WOOW dioxygen bridges in the crystal lattice. Under the pump excitation of 980 nm laser, the blue and red emission of NYW:Tm3+,Yb3+ powder and the green and red emission of NYW:Tm3+,Er3+,Yb3+ powder have been observed. The luminous intensity of NYW:Tm3+,Er3+,Yb3+ powder is higher than the NYW:Tm3+,Yb3+ powder.
