Description

Intense blue upconversion emission has been observed at room temperature under excitation in the range of 630-660 nm in a fluoroindate glass doped with 2.5 mol% of Tm3+. The experimental dynamics and power dependence of this emission are well described using a photon avalanche model based on the mean field approximation. (author)
