Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have determined the composition range of solid solutions in the binary system YPO4-YbPO4 and identified the key trends in the composition dependence of their IR Stokes luminescence intensity and decay time in the range 0.96–1.1 μm. The results were used to develop a new narrow-band IR phosphor, YPO4:Yb3+. Under 0.940-μm laser excitation, this phosphor offers an increased IR Stokes luminescence intensity in the range 0.96–1.1 μm (about twice as high as that of the well-known commercially available phosphors L-54 and FSD-546-2), with an afterglow time of 1700–1800 μs.
