Abstract:
Eu2+ mono and Dy3+Eu3+, Tb3+Eu3+ codoped aluminoborate glasses were prepared by hightemperature melting method.The photoluminescence of the obtained glasses were investigated in detail. The results show that Eu2+ monodoped aluminoborate glass can be effectively excited by blue light, and yellowgreen emission band is observed in the emission spectrum.With the increasing of the content of B2O3, the coordination field intensity of glasses decreases and a blue shift of the Eu2+ emission peak occurs.The strongest excitation peak of Dy3+ at 451 nm is observed in the Dy3+Eu3+ co-doped glasses. Under 451 nm excitation, Dy3+ and Eu3+ emit intense blue, yellow and red light, due to the efficient energy transfer from Tb3+ to Eu3+.Under 482 nm blue excitation, Tb3+Eu3+ codoped glasses emit green, yellow and red lights, and the energy transfer from Tb3+ to Eu3+ is observed. By combining these emission bands with blue LED, white light can be emitted.
