Synthesis and Characterization of Up-conversion Luminescence Material Er3+/Yb3+ Co-doped BaGd2O4
phosphors were prepared by the sol-gel method. The influence of annealing temperature on BaGd

crystal structure was investigated. Under 971 nm excitation
the dependence of the emission power and the up-conversion efficiency on the excitation density was studied. The obtained data show that the light conversion and absolute quantum efficiency of BaGd

which possesses the highest efficiency as ever reported. So
we can conclude that the material structure is the main influencing factor on the up-conversion efficiency when the phonon energy of the host is not very high.
