Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Important for telecommunications, luminescence of trivalent erbium (Er) at 1.5 μm generally arises from a Stokes-shifted downconversion mechanism. We show that this luminescence following direct excitation of the I<sub>11/2</sub>4 state is generated by upconversion-mediated looping process in Er<sup>3+</sup>/Sc<sup>3+</sup>-codoped LiNbO<sub>3</sub> single crystal. Emissions at 1.0 and 1.5 μm from the I<sub>11/2</sub>4 and I<sub>13/2</sub>4 states display linear and quadratic dependences on the excitation density in two separated ranges with a threshold of 20  W/cm<sup>2</sup>. This observation correlates with two- and four-photon processes in green and red upconversion emissions. The mechanism described has implications in the improvement of the output of 1.5 μm luminescence.
