Abstract
The effects of activator concentration on the relaxation of the 1I6, 1D2, 1G4 and 3H4 levels of Tm3+ were investigated by the analysis of the fluorescence decay curves in Tm3+ and Tm3+/Tb3+ doped ZBLAN glasses. UV and blue upconversion luminescence bands around 362 and 450 nm were observed by 655 nm laser excitation in all the samples. The upconversion mechanism was attributed to excited state absorption (ESA) by analyzing the decay profiles and the intensity dependence.
