Abstract

We show that ${Ce}^{3 +}$ can be an efficient sensitizer for ${Yb}^{3 +}$ in the host lattice of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG). With blue-light excitation to induce the $4 f \to 5 d$ transition of ${Ce}^{3 +}$ , characteristic near-IR emission of ${Yb}^{3 +}$ due to transition of ${}^{2}F_{5 ∕ 2} \to {}^{2}F_{7 ∕ 2}$ peaking at $1030 nm$ is generated as a result of energy transfer from ${Ce}^{3 +}$ to ${Yb}^{3 +}$ . The result of spectral evolution with temperature indicates that the efficiency of energy transfer is enhanced owing to thermal effect. This evidence implies that the phonon-assisted process participates in the downconversion of YAG: ${Ce}^{3 +}$ , ${Yb}^{3 +}$ .
