Near-infrared Luminescence in Doped Bi4Ge3O12 Crystals
(BGO) crystals were grown by using Czochralski (Cz) technique
and Cl doped BGO crystal was prepared by Vertical Bridgman (VB) method. The absorption
photoluminescence (PL) and PL lifetime spectra were systematically investigated. The results reveal that the emission intensity of these doped BGO is weaker than that of pure BGO in visible region. Near infrared (NIR) emission is observed in doped BGO under 808 nm and/or 980 nm laser diodes (LDs) excitation
and the NIR emission should be ascribed to a changed Bi-related active center or lower valence Bi ions. The valence state of doped ions could be key to achieving the NIR emission in BGO crystals
and the doped ions with same valence could play the similar roles in our experiments.
