Effect of SiO2 on Morphology and Luminescence Properties of TiO2 Film Doped with Rare Earth
In order to improve the up-conversion efficiency of Yb
3+
-Er
3+
co-doped TiO
2
film
SiO
2
was doped into the film which deposited on the glass substrate by sol-gel method and spin-coating technique. The effect of SiO
2
on the film's morphology and optical properties was researched. The morphology
near-infrared transmittance
and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the film were tested and analyzed. The results show that the particle size of TiO
2
decreases with the introduction of SiO
2
but the property of near-infrared light transmittance decreases nearly keep steady. The film emits red light at 630~670 nm
weak green light at 516~537 nm and 537~570 nm under 980 nm excitation. In additional
the intensity of the up-conversion luminescence tends to be saturated with pump power increasing.
